The Steinberg Key is the key to Steinberg's world of professional audio tools. The purchase of this license key is required to run any of the new Steinberg VST instruments released after 1st January 2005, as these products will not contain a USB hardware protection device. Users already using a 'USB dongle'-protected Steinberg product are not required to purchase an extra key.
The license modules are offered in a DVD package containing the key and a CD-ROM with movies and information about current Steinberg products. Additional PDF documents provide in-depth information for further research on Steinberg's leading applications. Steinberg Key also enables users to run additional full featured demo versions of the applications that are included with every Steinberg product package. The demo versions offer a hands-on experience with Steinberg's leading applications and instruments.
Features:
No more need for multiple dongles
No extra payment for an additional dongle in each package of a VST instrument
Easy access to full featured demo versions of Steinberg's leading applications
In-depth product information on CD-ROM
