Product information "Steinberg Key USB eLicenser"
The Steinberg Key (USB-eLicenser) is a copy protection plug (also known as a "dongle") that is required to operate Steinberg software. The Steinberg Key (USB-eLicenser) is already included with the full versions of the host applications Cubase 5, Nuendo 4 and WaveLab 6. For updates and VST instruments, it must be purchased separately if you do not yet have a Steinberg Key (USB-eLicenser).
The Steinberg Key (USB-eLicenser) is actually a small computer on which your Steinberg software licences are stored. It is connected to the USB port of your audio computer. All current Steinberg products that are protected with a copy protection plug use the same type of dongle and it is possible to store more than one licence on one Steinberg Key (USB-eLicenser). Licences can also be transferred (within certain limits) between Steinberg Keys (USB-eLicenser). This is useful if you want to sell a certain software, for example.
