Grace Period Update to Cubase 7 and Cubase Artist 7
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.

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.
Grace Period updates will become active later today (December 5, 2012).
