The issue remains regardless of registration, right? So the USB-eLincenser, it seems, is a absolutely necessary evil if one wishes to protect their software. even though it was registered prior, I would venture to guess that it would still be voided and therefore any licenses stored on the Soft-eLicenser would be lost permanently.

the computer has changed and is not the same.

But considering the above statement from Steinberg, was the USB dongle an unnecessary purchase? My biggest question at this point is: does a registered Soft-eLincenser account act similarly to the 'cloud based storage' that Waves uses? Overall, I am thinking 'no' because if I ever need to reformat/reinstall Windows again, then the Soft-eLicenser would be 'new' and the old ID number of said licenser would therefore be voided, i.e. By registering a Soft-eLicenser number, all product licenses contained in it are automatically added to your user account.' Huh? Now, I understand the dongle essentially does two things: 1) stores and protects my licenses regardless of what the Soft-eLicenser does, 2) allows me to move and use software(s) between multiple computers. And then I read this on one of the Steinberg pages: 'A Soft-eLicenser (SeL) is a virtual copy protection container that holds the licenses needed to run your Soft-eLicenser based products. I create an account, and it automatically populates and registers the dongle with my 'mySteinberg' account. So then, I register the dongle with Steinberg. I breathe a sigh of relief, though I'm now caught in the dongle game! No worries though at this point.

In order to protect my license from future trouble, I immediately transfer the Largo license from the Soft-eLicenser to the USB-eLicenser. Not too bad of a price certainly cheaper than iLok (which is not compatible with anything eLicenser). Because I didn't want to fall into the trap of lost licenses again, over this past weekend I bought a USB-eLicenser (dongle) from Guitar Center, which cost $24.99.

I figured another 12 bucks instead of a dead-in-the-water-loss of the initial purchase price was the smart choice.

Fortunately, after proof of purchase, I am given a coupon code for a new Largo license which costs an appreciated $12.59. I contact Waldorf, and the support person states that I need to purchase another license. After the installation, and subsequent installation of Largo, I go to activate it and no dice license already used. The inevitable re-installation of Windows needed to be performed. Fast forward to a few weeks ago, and my computer developed problems. The license was stored locally, on the computer, in the Soft-eLicenser (SeL) program. OK, story time! Back in 2013, I got a good deal and purchased Waldorf Largo from an online vendor who sent me an actual disc.

At this time, I still don't know what is truly necessary for protecting licenses using this system.but I *think* I have a general understanding. USB-eLicenser Because I suffer from buyer's remorse at times, I'm here to rant a little bit and seek confirmation on Steinberg's convoluted process of the eLicenser system. Total Confusion!
