CI2 Operation Manual 29
License Agreement for Software
English
3 Activation of the Software
3.1 Steinberg may use a compulsory activation of the software
and a compulsory product registration of the OEM soft-
ware for license control to protect the software against
unlawful copying. If you do not accept the terms and con-
ditions of this Agreement, the software will not work.
3.2 In such a case the product including the software may only
be returned within 14 days following acquisition of the
product. Upon return a claim according to § 11 shall not
apply.
4 Support, Upgrades and Updates after
Product Registration
4.1 You can only receive support, upgrades and updates fol-
lowing the personal product registration. Support is pro-
vided only for the current version and for the previous
version during one year after publication of the new ver-
sion. Steinberg can modify and partly or completely adjust
the extent of the support (hotline, fora on the website etc.),
upgrades and updates at any time. In case of Trial Version
Software, there exists no product registration or any sup-
port, upgrades or updates.
4.2 The product registration is possible during the activation
process or at any time later through the Internet. In such a
process you are asked to agree to the storage and use of
your personal data (name, address, contact, email-address,
date of birth and license data) for the purposes specified
above. Steinberg may also forward these data to engaged
third parties, in particular distributors, for support purposes
and for the verification of the upgrade or update right.
4.3 If you provide an address outside the EU, the data also
can be transferred to third parties in countries which do
not ensure an adequate level of data protection compara-
ble to that applying within the EU.
5 Licence module (USB-eLicenser /or
Soft eLicenser)
5.1 Steinberg uses a hardware device connected through the
USB connection of a computer (hereinafter “USB-eLi-
censer”) and/or a protection scheme (hereinafter “Soft
eLicenser”) for license control (hardware and/or software
licenser) in the case of many products. The USB-eLi-
censer and/or Soft eLicenser permanently saves the li-
cense information and regulates access to the software. If
a USB-eLicenser is required for the use of the software,
then the USB-eLicenser must be connected physically to
the computer through the USB interface.
5.2 For the activation of the software, updates or upgrades of
the software the computer which is connected to the
USB-eLicenser and/or using the Soft eLicenser or using
the OEM software must be connected to the server of
Steinberg through the Internet. If the product was deliv-
ered with the USB-eLicenser, the license information was
already transferred to the USB-eLicenser. If the product
was delivered with a product card (without the USB-eLi-
censer), the activation codes of the enclosed product card
must be entered manually by the user upon installation
and the license information must be exchanged with the
server of Steinberg.
5.3 In the event of OEM software, the activation codes will be
send to an email-address submitted by you during a regis-
tration. Further, the activation codes must be entered man-
ually by the user upon installation and the license
information must be exchanged with the server of
Steinberg.
5.4 The reinstallation of the software - on the same or another
computer - is permitted only in case the already installed
software cannot be used any more (e.g. following deinstal-
lation). If the software does not use a USB-eLicenser, but
requires activation codes, the new activation codes may be
obtained from the user's online account for support cre-
ated during the personal product registration. Further, the
activation codes must be entered manually by the user
upon installation and the license information must be ex-
changed with the server of Steinberg. Steinberg may re-
quire for the provision of further activation codes e.g. your
proof of purchase (invoice, receipt) and a signed assur-
ance by fax or letter stating your name, address and that
the already installed software cannot be used any more.
Trial Version Software can be used on a computer also at
reinstallation only altogether 30 days.
5.5 You can also use another computer other than the one on
which the software is to be installed for the activation and
transfer of license data to the USB-eLicenser, if the soft-
ware is using a USB-eLicenser. However, in such a case a
corresponding access software (eLicense Control Centre,
“eLCC”) must be installed on the computer connected to
the Internet, which is subject to a separate licensing
agreement.
6 Defect and loss of the USB-eLicenser
6.1 In the case of a defect or damage to the USB-eLicenser
Steinberg or a third party engaged by Steinberg will check
the USB-eLicenser. In the case of a legitimate claim the
USB-eLicenser and the licenses included shall be re-
placed in return for a handling fee. The licenses will only
be replaced provided that they are licenses issued by
Steinberg. Further claims against Steinberg are excluded.
6.2 Steinberg assumes no liability or obligation if the USB-eLi-
censer is mislaid as a result of loss, theft or otherwise.
Steinberg reserves the right to block the licenses saved on
the USB-eLicenser upon being notified by the registered
user of the loss. The licenses saved on the USB-eLicenser
cannot be replaced.
7 Modification of the software
7.1 A modification of the software is permitted only insofar as
far as the software is capable of such modification in ac-
cordance with its intended function. You may not decom-
pile, disassemble, carry out reverse engineering or try in
another manner to determine the source code of the soft-
ware, unless this is permitted by law. Furthermore, you
must not modify the binary code of the software to bypass
in any manner the activation function or the use of the li-
cense module (USB-eLicenser and/or Soft eLicenser).
8 No Unbundling
8.1 The software usually contains a variety of different files
which in its configuration ensure the complete functional-
ity of the software. The software may be used as one
product only. It is not required that you use or install all
components of the software. You must not arrange com-
ponents of the software in a new way and develop a modi-
