Steinberg Licensing was introduced in January 2022 to replace the old eLicenser-based license management.
The transition to Steinberg was completed in November 2023. Since then, all current Steinberg products are using Steinberg Licensing.
The following list shows the last releases of the most important Steinberg software that are still compatible with the eLicenser-based license technology.
