Hello Martina,

not your eLicenser USB Key but your eLicenser Control Center is too old. Download and update it from here:

Hello

My elicencer control is not on a key, it is on my computer. Why it is not possible to activate using this elicencer ? I have installed the synchro program. Unfortunately now I have trouble in Cubase with the midi.

Any help would be appreciated

best regards

Hello Yoplaboum.

Our products always need a physical USB key like the ViennaKey or Steinberg Key.

It will not run with the SOFT eLicenser.

Hi Walter, 

You only need a ViennaKey or Steinberg Key to store your license on. 

Nothing else, the Synchron Player is included.

Hi Paul. Help me with this please.

My understanding was the master pc did not need a Steinberg key/license while I worked with the DAW but the server/slave pc's did need a Steinberg key/license to work.

If so, I moved the Steinberg key from my master pc to another slave to get the Big Bang Orchestra to play from that pc. But now the master daw pc will not open the Pro 7 server software now. I have ordered another usb key as you suggested but I was trying this to see if it worked like this. I did order an extra license a few months ago so I could use it on my DAW pc but now I have a new computer to add as another server. So it is getting confusing. My setup is this; two slave pc's and one DAW pc.

I'm still rearranging my room but I would like to have the Big Bang on one slave and the other slave for various VST's. And of course the DAW pc to accommodate this. Your thoughts?

Thanks

Hi Walter, 

You need one license and key for every computer you want to run the VE Pro Server on. 

The only situation where you don't need a key on your master computer is when you only CONNECT to your networked computers. The connecting VE Pro PLUG-IN does not need a license to run. 

Best,
Paul

Thank you Paul.

I understand now. 

Hi. Trying to acvitvate the Big Bnad Ochestra. I now tried numerous times. I am following the instuctions. I have installed the latest versions of eLicenser and Vienna Donwload Manager. The BBO files have been downloaded onto my drive. I go through Vienna Down Load manager it gets to the part where it activates anfd then I get a message saying thatbthere isnt a USB eLicenser connected to the computer. Is that different to eLicenser. I have no USB thing at all. The eLicenser worked fine with Cubase. Any ideas?

Phil

Further to my email below I now seem to have not had or lost the USB stick. I have no recollection of having one with the CubaseLE4 I got. Is there an alternaive l;icensing software that I can use to get BBO?

Hi Phil,

to use Big Bang Orchestra, you need a physical USB eLicenser / ViennaKey.
This is also a requirement for Cubase Artist and Pro.

Best, Ben

Thanks, how do I get Vienna Key?

You can order one here: https://www.vsl.co.at/Product_Overview/ViennaKey

You will also find the Vienna Key / an eLicenser in most music stores.

Could be a good time to serve your customers

Hi bbo,

I am trying out big bang orchestra, and registered the license, but when I open Vienna ensemble I dont know where to go or load whatever I downloaded with the downloader

I go to synchron patch, but its empty.

This is very convoluted and I am frustrated. Any help is appreciated.

Hi KidBomba,

Did you install the Synchron Player Software already? You can insert it right in your sequencer.

Vienna Ensemble is our host software that will be useful when you're loading many VSL instruments.

For BBO, I'd stick with the simpler solution, just inserting the Synchron Player in your DAW.

Best,
Paul

Perfect, I will try this method. Cheers!

Hi, 

Which locations did you try already?

This should work with the latest version of the Vienna Assistant (will be downloaded upon your next start). 

Best,
Paul
