OK thanks for that. Wrt the issue of getting SE3 to run on a Win10 PC…
As a test I downloaded (from the link above) and installed SE3.03. Before I did, I right-clicked on setup.exe → properties → compatibility → Run this program in compatibility mode for: Windows XP service pack 2. It installed OK and even asked to do a reboot. When I launched it, I got an “Elicensor Control - Error” popup and clicking on “Licenses” takes me to another popup “Elicnsor Control - Select License” (with a license tree). Hitting “Refresh” just brings it up again, and hitting “Cancel” gives me another popup “The user has cancelled the license selection”.
So it seems to work getting that far OK. When I right click on “CubaseSE3.exe” and do a “TroubleShoot Compatibility” it changes it to WinXPSP3 and everything above works the same as before… so I think SE3 will work on this Win10 laptop if I can get a license for it.
Sound about right anyone?
