Anyone got a Cubase LE license going spare?

Has anyone got an unregistered Cubase LE license going spare?

The LE licenses are often bundled with hardware like Steinberg audio interfaces, etc.

I've got an unregistered Ableton Live Lite license to trade, from a similar software bundle.

I just want a basic version of Cubase for testing plugins. There's a free trial but it's only 60 days.

I was about to buy a £49 Steinberg IXO12 audio interface just for the bundled Cubase AI license, and thought I may as well ask here

@dannytaurus Sorry I don't... but you definitely gave me the idea of buying 2nd hand hardware that have LE license for many DAWs instead of buying new licenses and I thank you for this!

@dannytaurus Send them a message. DAW companies are generally pretty generous if you tell them your looking for a developer license. I recall Steinberg was fairly slow getting back to me but they hooked me up as did: Bitwig, Ableton, Studio One, FL Studio.

@ustk Yes, great way to get cheap licenses - and to accumulate redundant hardware!

Just make sure that the previous hasn't already registered the license. It can be a pain to transfer some of them!

@HISEnberg Oh nice. Never thought they would do that for small fry devs like me. But it's worth a try I guess.

@dannytaurus Yes I was pleasantly surprised by the response. Just link your website or some proof your a developer. Got to love the audio community!
