Taking their sweet time

This needs to be addressed. This is not a niggle.

What is being asked for is preferential treatment, which by all accounts of past interaction between users and Steinberg, will not happen so therefore what this thread amounts to is an ambit claim.

As per your other “necroed” thread, unless an internet downloading service is built into the elicense system, ad-hoc updates are not in the interests of anyone least of all the users of steinberg software.
