If you want to use it on\nalternating desktops and laptops, for example, you\u2019ll need to purchase a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.steinberg.net\/en\/shop\/buy_product\/product\/usb-elicenser.html\">$27.99\nUSB licensor key<\/a> to insert each time. Also, you\u2019ll need 20 GB of free space\nfor the installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Go to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.steinberg.net\/index.php?id=9083&amp;L=1\">link shown on the\ncard<\/a> included in the box to download Cubase LE software.&nbsp; The card packaged with the bundle shows you\u2019ll\nreceive Cubase LE 9, but they\u2019ve updated the software and actually you\u2019ll\nreceive Cubase LE 10.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve entered the license code, another screen will pop\nup with your Activation Code. (It\u2019ll also be emailed to you.) Click to download\neither the Windows or Mac OS version. Run the installer file to install the\nSteinberg Download Assistant file.&nbsp; Run\nthe Steinberg Download Assistant app, and then select the Cubase LE 10 software\n(15.07 GB) (currently version 10.0.20). Start the download of that, and an hour\nor so later when it\u2019s finished downloading, unzip the file. Click the setup.exe\nfile (this is getting laborious isn\u2019t it?) to install the software. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As it installs over the next 15 minutes of so, it appears\nthat it\u2019s installing the complete (approximately 16GB) Cubase Elements 10 version,\nalthough you\u2019ll have access to only a portion of it with the free LE license. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you can install your activation code by finding the\nprogram folder: eLicenser and enter your activation code. After a minute or so,\nyour license will be activated and you\u2019ll be able to launch Cubase. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Happy music creating!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But are you done \u2013 NO!&nbsp;&nbsp;\nOn a PC, you\u2019ll need to probably install ASIO4ALL v2 drivers to make Fox\nmics and headphones usable with Cubase.&nbsp; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.asio4all.org\/\">Download the driver from here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Install the driver, and click the Off-Line setting box during the install.
