I still strongly feel we should still be able to “re-activate” a Padshop Pro 1" license via the Steinberg web site. As mentioned, now that Steinberg amalgamated the old Padshop Pro 1 product into Padshop2, those of us that bought a Padshop Pro 1 license and then upgraded out Cubase 10.x to the lastest version kind of got screwed over. We are able to re-activate Cubase LE and use it on a mobile laptop without having to worry about a USB dongle getting broken off in a coffee shop. But if we want to use PadshopPro, we have to buy a new USB licencer just to use Padshop on the another machine.
My setup is, Cubase Pro and all my other stuff is on my main desktop at home that has the USB licenser. I use the laptop to experiment and put together Cubase templates using Cubase LE on a laptop that has the software licnese only.
