License Agreement for Cubase AI 4
26 Operation Manual
may require for the provision of further activation codes
e.g. your proof of purchase (invoice, receipt) and a signed
assurance by fax or letter stating your name, address and
that the already installed software cannot be used any
more. Trial Version Software can be used on a computer
also at reinstallation only altogether 30 days.
5.5. You can also use another computer other than the one on
which the software is to be installed for the activation and
transfer of license data to the Steinberg key, if the software
is using a Steinberg key. However, in such a case a corre-
sponding access software (Syncrosoft License Control
Center, “LCC”) must be installed on the computer con-
nected to the Internet, which is subject to a separate
licensing agreement.
6. Defect and loss of the Steinberg key
6.1. In the case of a defect or damage to the Steinberg key
Steinberg or a third party engaged by Steinberg will check
the Steinberg key. In the case of a legitimate claim the
Steinberg key and the licenses included shall be replaced
in return for a handling fee. The licenses will only be
replaced provided that they are licenses issued by Stein-
berg. Further claims against Steinberg are excluded.
6.2. Steinberg assumes no liability or obligation if the Stein-
berg key is mislaid as a result of loss, theft or otherwise.
Steinberg reserves the right to block the licenses saved
on the Steinberg key upon being notified by the registered
user of the loss. The licenses saved on the Steinberg key
cannot be replaced.
7. Modification of the software
7.1. A modification of the software is permitted only insofar as
far as the software is capable of such modification in
accordance with its intended function. You may not
decompile, disassembe, carry out reverse engineering or
try in another manner to determine the source code of the
software, unless this is permitted by law. Furthermore, you
must not modify the binary code of the software to bypass
in any manner the activation function or the use of the
license module (Steinberg key and/or Soft eLicenser).
8. No Unbundling
8.1. The software usually contains a variety of different files
which in its configuration ensure the complete functionality
of the software. The software may be used as one product
only. It is not required that you use or install all compo-
nents of the software. You must not arrange components
of the software in a new way and develop a modified ver-
sion of the software or a new product as a result. The con-
figuration of the software may not be modified for the
purpose of distribution, assignment or resale.
8.2. You may also not sell the Steinberg key separately as a
license; the usage rights always remain with the software,
in particular with the original software data carrier (e.g.
CD).
9. Assignment of Rights
9.1. You may assign all your rights to use the software to
another person subject to the conditions that (a) you
assign to this other person (i) this Agreement and (ii) the
software or hardware provided with the software, packed
or preinstalled thereon, including all copies, upgrades,
updates, backup copies and previous versions, which
granted a right to an update or upgrade on this software,
(b) you do not retain upgrades, updates, backup copies
und previous versions of this software and (c) the recipient
accepts the terms and conditions of this Agreement as
well as other regulations pursuant to which you acquired a
valid software license.
9.2. A return of the product due to a failure to accept the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, e.g. the product activa-
tion, shall not be possible following the assignment of
rights.
10. Upgrades and Updates
10.1. You must have a valid license for the previous or more
inferior version of the software in order to be allowed to
use an upgrade or update for the software; the Trial Ver-
sion Software, however, does not entitle to the upgrade or
update. Upon transferring this previous or more inferior
version of the software to third parties the right to use the
upgrade or update of the software shall expire.
10.2. The acquisition of an upgrade or update does not in itself
confer any right to use the software.
10.3. The right of support for the previous or inferior version of
the software expires upon the installation of an upgrade or
update.
11. Limited Warranty (“Gewährleistung”)
11.1. The warranty (“Gewährleistung”) for you as first buyer of
the software located within the European Union (EU) is
specified in Subsection 11.2 and the warranty for you as
first buyer of the software located outside the EU is speci-
fied in Subsection 11.3 of this Agreement.
11.2. Limited Warranty within the EU: In the event that you as a
first buyer of the software are located within the EU, the
following limitation of liability shall apply.
11.2.1.

user, Steinberg warrants (“gewährleistet”) that the soft-
ware essentially executes the functions described in the
enclosed documentation upon receipt, provided that the
software is employed in accordance with the minimum
requirements for the operating system and the computer
hardware. Insignificant divergences from the functions
described in the documentation do not give rise to any
warranty claim. Other documents and statements are
unremarkable for the composition of the product.
11.2.2.
If the user is consumer within the EU, the statutor y war-
ranty (“Gewährleistung”) to defects of the product shall
apply. If the user is a businessman, Steinberg provides
warranty for defects of the product at its discretion by fur-
ther fulfillment (improvement or substitute delivery) within
one year. However, there exists no warranty for Trial Ver-
sion Software.
11.3. Limited Warranty outside the EU: In the event that you as a
first buyer of the software are located outside the EU, the
following limitation of liability shall apply.
11.3.1.
Steinberg ensures (“gewährleistet”) to the person who
acquires first-time the license for the use of the software
according to this Agreement, for the duration of ninety (90)
days as of receipt of the software, that the software exe-
cutes essentially the functions described in the enclosed
documentation at receipt, provided that the software is
employed according to the minimum requirements for the
operating system and the computer hardware. Insignifi-
