You will be provided Mac and Windows download links for Cubase LE 7 and, most importantly, your Activation Code for Cubase LE 7. You should write this code down or highlight and copy it, as we'll need this to activate Cubase LE 7 later. Note that this is different from the Download Code you used previously. 
   
   
   
   
4. Click the button to download the Mac or Windows installer.

Install Cubase LE 7

Steinberg has provided this download in a ZIP file. After the download is complete, this folder will need to be extracted.

1. For Windows 7, 8 users, simply locate the Cubase_LE_7_Installer_win file in your Downloads folder. Open this folder and drag the Cubase LE 7 folder to your desktop. This will automatically extract the folder and provide an icon like below:
   
   
   
   Open this folder and double click Start_Center to begin installation. Please follow the onscreen instructions to Install the software. 
   
   
2. For Mac OSX users, simply double click the Cubase_LE_7_Installer_mac.dmg file from your Downloads folder. A new window will appear shortly with a Start Center icon. Double click this to begin and following the instructions to Install the software.
   
   
   
   

Activate/Authorize Cubase LE 7

1. Now we need to activate the Cubase LE 7 software. Let's begin by opening the eLicenser Control Center (eLCC) which can be found in the following folders:
   
   
   Windows: Computer / OS (C:) / Programs Files (x86) / eLicenser / eLCC 
   
   
   
   
   Mac OSX: Applications folder
   
   
   
   
   
2. When you open the eLCC, ignore or cancel any messages regarding "Online Synchronization & Maintenance". Click the Enter Activation Code button in the top left corner. 
   
   
   
   
3. Enter the Activation Code for Cubase LE 7 that you received above. (NOT the Download Access Code that you received on your Software Download Instructions card that came with your software). You will see Cubase LE 7 appear in the box below. Click Continue.
   
   
   
   
4. You will now see a Select eLicenser window appear. Select the Soft-eLicenser (SeL) item from the left column and click the Download License button in the bottom right corner. 
   
   
   
   
5. A new window will display the License Download progress. Click the Close button in the bottom right hand corner when the license download is successful. Please be patient, as this can take a few minutes. 
   
   
   
   
6. You may now close the eLicenser Control Center. Cubase LE 7 is now activated!

After Steinberg software has been installed, it needs to be activated by downloading and storing the required license.

The Activation is done in the utility eLicenser Control Center that is being installed along automatically. After entering an activation code, the license will be downloaded and stored either in the Soft-eLicenser - locally on hard disk - or on a connected USB-eLicenser (dongle).

This tutorial video shows the Activation process by a practical example.

Activation codes can have different sources:

• Boxed software
  If you have received your Steinberg software in a box, it includes a Download Access Code printed on a sheet (Essential Product License Information). When redeeming the Download Access Code in your MySteinberg account, you'll receive download links as well as an activation code for the corresponding software.
  Older boxed Steinberg software only: The activation code is printed on the included Essential Product License Information card.
• Software downloads
  In case you've purchased software as download from our online shop, you've received a confirmation email. Depending on the product, the mail includes the activation code or a Download Access Code with which you can request the needed activation code and download links via your MySteinberg account.
• Reactivation
  An activation code will also be sent to you by email when you perform a Reactivation in your MySteinberg account.
• Legacy versions of Cubase LE, Cubase AI and WaveLab LE
  During the installation of one of these legacy products, a demo license limited in time will be created: Cubase LE 4, 5 and 6, Cubase AI 4, 5 and 6, WaveLab LE 6
  An activation code for a permanent license can be obtained by registering the software online in your MySteinberg account.

The following instructions outline the Activation - thus the download of a license by entering an activation code in the eLicenser Control Center - in detail.

The required actions step-by-step:

• Install your Steinberg software.
• Install the latest update if available online.
  Some installers allow for including updates during the installation.
• Open the eLicenser Control Center. You will find it under 'Program Files' (Windows) or 'Applications' (Mac OS X).
• Apply the 'Maintenance & Online Synchronisation' by clicking on 'Perform Maintenance Tasks' (or click on the 'Maintenance' button at the top right if not shown).

• Activation with USB-eLicenser
  In case your software requires an USB-eLicenser or if you want to use one, make sure the USB-eLicenser is connected and displayed by the eLicenser Control Center. If the USB-eLicenser appears to be missing, please click here.
• Activation with Soft-eLicenser
  If your software does not ask for an USB-eLicenser, the license will be stored in the Soft-eLicenser which will be represented by a hard disk symbol on the left side under 'eLicensers'. If the Soft-eLicenser appears to be missing, please click here.

• If the required USB-eLicenser or Soft-eLicenser is displayed, click on the green button [Enter Activation Code] at the upper left of the eLicenser Control Center.
• Enter activation code. Of course, you can also copy and paste the code into the input field. The activation code must not have been used before.
• Click on [Continue] and finally on [Download License] to complete activation.
• As soon as the license has been downloaded, it will appear in the right column of the eLicenser Control Center under 'Licenses'. Now the activation is complete. You can use your software now.
  
  If you have further unused activation codes, simply repeat the steps accordingly.

During the activation, licenses that are usually stored in a Soft-eLicenser on a hard disk can alternatively be stored on a connected USB-eLicenser.

Licenses that already have been stored in a Soft-eLicenser still can be transferred to a USB-eLicenser. In this way, a license can be made portable and also be made usable on computers without internet access.
