You also get the error if you try to start Cubase after Dorico 4, simply because the eLicenser gets ignited when you start Cubase.Unplugging the stick does nothing, you have to reboot. When you clear the error, the eLicenser window has NO items in it on either side. Start the eLicenser software and you will get the error in the screenshot below.Open Dorico 4, do stuff, save and close.Here's what happens - Obviously Dorico 4.0 now has a login-based authentication, but my eLicenser remains plugged in for Cubase and WaveLab: I'd like to contact Steinberg with more than just me getting borked. wonder if anyone else who has both 3.5 and 4.0 can repeat it. THIS IS SO CONFUSING AND MAKES NO SENSE.I found a repeatable grump with Dorico 4 and eLicenser software when you still have the upgraded Dorico 3.5 leftover on the USB stick (says '3.5 not upgradeable' now that I'm on 4). Even if I delete the downloaded files and redownload using the Elements 4 download access code from the purchase email, it still loads the pro 4 version when I launch the software, there is no Elements 4 shown in my Mac OS applications folder, only shows “Dorico 4”. When try to run Dorico it loads the Pro 4 trial by default telling me that it will stop working in 3 days. There seems to be no way to use Elements. In the Download assistant, under my Dorico Elements 4 product in “My Product Downloads” it shows “Dorico 4.2 Application Installer” as installed, but the Dorico Pro 4 trial is also still there. Purchase software, get a download link, install it, enter license key. There’s no reason this needs to be this complicated!! Why is this not obvious? Seems like it should be simple.
