3. Activation of the Software
3.1. Steinberg may use a compulsory activation of the software and a compul-
sory product registration of the OEM software for license control to protect
the software against unlawful copying. If you do not accept the ter ms and
conditions of this Agreement, the software will not work.

4.1. You can only receive support, upgrades and updates following the per-
sonal product registration. Support is provided only for the current version
and for the previous version during one year after publication of the new
version. 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 regis-
tration or any support, upgrades or updates.

ified above. Steinberg may also forward these data to engaged third
parties, in particular distributors, for support purposes and for the verifica-
tion of the upgrade or update right.

to third parties in countries which do not ensure an adequate level of data
protection comparable to that applying within the EU.
5. Licence module (Steinberg key and/or Soft eLicenser)
5.1. Steinberg uses a hardware device connected through the USB connec-
tion of a computer (hereinafter “Steinberg key”) and/or a protection
scheme (hereinafter “Soft eLicenser”) for license control (hardware and/or
software dongle) in the case of many products. The Steinberg key and/or
Soft eLicenser permanently saves the license information and regulates
access to the software. If a Steinberg key is required for the use of the
software, then the Steinberg key 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 Steinberg key and/or using the Soft
eLicenser or using the OEM software must be connected to the server of
SIA Syncrosoft through the Internet. If the product was delivered with the
Steinberg key, the license information was already transferred to the Stein-
berg key. If the product was delivered with a product card (without the
Steinberg key), the activation codes of the enclosed product card must
be entered manually by the user upon installation and the license infor ma-
tion must be exchanged with the server of SIA Syncrosoft.
