HI Scab, thanks for replying.
The eLCC app says 7.5, but the eLCC was updated/maintenance via internet before i looked, and before i knew about this situation.
Thanks for finding that cutoff announcement ! Thats a skillful find ! That would answer that question !
Only thing now is, the 7.5 box/disc i purchased came with a ‘free update’ and nothing to say it will expire. So the disc is 7.5, sold as ‘7.5 with free update’, and ‘free update’ is affixed to the Cubase box underneath the plastic wrapping. At the time i assumed this was related to the upcoming Cubase 8. I cannot remember what has happened here, but i have seen i had Cubase 8 installed on the old latop, and im pretty sure i was using it back then.
I was thinking maybe i didnt register that i have taken the update or something, and the license has fallen back to 7.5. But doesnt look like it works that way. Gonna have to wait and see.
Appreciate your time there Scab, many thanks
