Cubase AI and LE Activation and Registration

Many Yamaha, Steinberg and third-party products are bundled with a version of Cubase AI or Cubase LE. Installation of these software titles are subject to Activation and Registration. This page gives you access to all the information you require in order to successfully activate and register your software.

What does activation mean?

Activating a Steinberg product means entering an Activation Code in an application called the eLicenser Control Centre (eLCC) to obtain a license which enables the software to be used permanently.

What does registration mean?

You need to register your product with Steinberg by means of a MySteinberg user account. It is through your MySteinberg user account that you can obtain Activation Codes to enter into the eLicenser Control Centre application.
