I just got cubaseSX on my comp. and after installing it I try to open it and I get an error message saying "error, No protection device connected. connect device and click ok to retry"

I am running it off of windows xp if that helps. and i dont know much in computer terms. If anyone could help, please PM me and let me know what to do.

its looking for the dongle that came with the software...

the dongle connects to a USB/serial port and tells cubase that this copy is legal.

if you copied it then you are out of luck.

It does have a dongle file on it, when I tried to open it, it needed a seperate program to open the dongle file. then it sent me to a different website that says I have to pay $30 for winAce or soft tronic program. is there any way around that.

sounds like you are using a cracked copy...
there isnt really any tech support for a pirated/illegal copy of software
my advice would be to: a. learn that you can download a trial version of winrar or b. buy a legal copy (in which the latter comes with a nifty little usb dongle that doesnt require you to install cracks and dongle emulators)

BTW. Im finally making enough money that I can buy SX upgrade for myself... (I notice that I'm saving money now that I have left the crappy DFW area - maybe just coincidence)

go to www.rarsoft.com and download winrar
it will do the job of uncompressing that file.

and if you like the software and have the cash, please support these companies! if we don't then they wont be around for long.

naw... apple will go down the tubes before then.
motorolla has stopped manufacturing the G4 chips because apple isn't moving enough product. its only a matter of time before they are using the "PC" platform as well.

still pisses me off that they bought emagic tho...

bastards...

believe me, If I could of afforded it, I would have just bought it. I have never really used any producing programs so I just really wanted see what it was like before I started investing money into it. and these downloads took me almost two days which is a huge pain in the ass.

thanks for the help, we'll see if it works.
