Unfortunately here in UK I cannot current access Steinberg support as they appear to have a sever problem affecting many users accessing My Steinberg, (See a post about Typo 3 error in Cubase 9 board).
No idea of the extent of this as some posts seem to indicate this also effects the licenser server which would make it impossible to currently activate Halion 6.
So catch 22 can’t contact support and can’t activate my purchase. Clock ticking on zero downtime option.
This lack of incorporation of the Halion 5 licence creates a problem for USB dongle users who have 32bit machines and 64bit machines, as Halion 6 is 64bit only and if the licence is wiped from the dongle the 32bit machine loses access to the older versions of Halion. Also no idea of potential hits to my Halion Sonic 2 licence as I bought this separately.
Wonder what the objective of Steinberg really is in this licence removal, just a poor assumption or an intentional removal of use of previous purchased products?
I saw no reference to this in the Halion 6 marketing materials.
