Grace Period Update to Cubase 7.5 and Cubase Artist 7.5

Customers activating an older version of Cubase or Cubase Artist (from version 6), whereas a newer version is already available, receive from Steinberg once (!) a so-called free Grace Period update to activate the current version available to that time. This offer is commonly valid for full versions, education versions, updates and upgrades.

If a newer version is released shortly after activation (usually within a six-week period), you may be entitled to the Grace Period update irrelevant of the current version having been granted at the time of activation.

Check Grace Period validation now

Please note: Cubase is activated as soon as you have entered your activation code within the eLicenser Control Center (eLCC). Please note that the date of activation is the determining factor — not the date of purchase or the registration date.
