Dongles Off Ebay, Using multiple dongles on multiple computers with one copy Options

[Seth Peterson]

I've botton one copy of cubase sx with my brother to do recordings with and we have two computers. We are working together i'm in berkeley he's in sac, emailing mp3 and would like to use the same program. We have one purchassed version(600$) of cubase sx and would like to use it on my computer aswell.
I see that you can buy more dongles on ebay but the seller dosen't know how to use the same program on two computers with dongles(sounds kinda shady). Are there licencing issuse with this. How do you do this if possible? thanks so much

I do not believe you can buy official dongles on eBay. I would be very suspicious for two reasons: firstly, why would someone sell the dongle and not the software and secondly, if they're not selling the software, how come they have a spare dongle when everyone else only gets one?

Unless the seller can honestly answer both questions to your complete satisfaction, forget it. Every manufacturer that uses USB dongles is EXTREMELY tough on people who lose their dongle. Getting a "spare" or even a legitimate replacement for a lost or stolen key isn't just a case of ringing them up and asking nicely.

If you bought one copy of the software, you get one key. It's as simple as that. You can possibly install the software on two or more machines, but you can only use it on one at a time.
