While all current Steinberg programs have long been using the Steinberg Licensing technology introduced at the beginning of 2022, the Basic FX Suite and Advanced FX Suite plug-in collections supplied with many Steinberg audio interfaces were still dependent on eLicenser-based licenses.

With the updates TOOLS for AXR4 3.2.0, TOOLS for UR-C V3.2.0 and Basic FX Suite 3.0.0 released on November 12, 2024, this changes: The new versions Advanced FX Suite 3.0.0 and Basic FX Suite 3.0.0 are compatible with Steinberg Licensing!

A click on a model in the following overview will take you to the respective download page.

Activating the Steinberg Licensing-based license

⚠️ To use the VST, AU and AAX plug-ins included in the new version of the Basic FX Suite or Advanced FX Suite, you must first activate the new Steinberg Licensing-based license. Read on to find out how.

Before you get started, please note the following requirements:

• You have installed the Steinberg Download Assistant.
  If not, download the installer here: ⬇macOS | ⬇Windows
• An eLicenser-based Basic FX Suite or Advanced FX is registered in your MySteinberg account.

If the above requirements are met, please proceed as follows:

• Quit all programs.
• Log in to your MySteinberg account.

• Go to “Vouchers”.

• Click on “Redeem” on the voucher for the Basic FX Suite or Advanced FX Suite license.
  If the voucher is missing, please ensure that an eLicenser holding a Basic FX Suite or Advanced FX Suite license is registered in your MySteinberg account. After a new registration, it may take up to 30 minutes for the voucher to appear.
• Follow the on-screen instructions that will guide you through the activation process.
• Tip: Finally, open the Steinberg Activation Manager to verify that your new Steinberg Licensing-based Basic FX Suite or Advanced FX Suite license is active.

Now you can use the included plug-ins with the Steinberg Licensing-based license!

You can also continue to use older Basic FX Suite or Advanced FX Suite versions with an eLicenser-based license. Please note, however, that the outdated eLicenser system will be shut down in the course of 2025. From this date, old eLicenser-based licenses can no longer be renewed - e.g., after a system change.
