The Steinberg Key is, in fact, a little computer on which your Stein-
berg software licenses are stored. All hardware-protected Steinberg
products use the same type of key, and you can store more than one
license on one key. Also, licenses can (within certain limits) be trans-
ferred between keys – which is helpful, e.g. if you want to sell a piece
of software.
❐
If you already own a Steinberg Key (e.g. for Cubase or Nuendo), you can
load your Groove Agent license onto that one, using the activation code
supplied with Groove Agent. This way you need only one USB key for
both your host and Groove Agent (see below).
❐
The Steinberg Key must not be plugged in before or during the installa-
tion of Groove Agent if this is the first time you use such a key. Other-
wise Windows will register it as new USB hardware and try to find drivers
that won't be present before Groove Agent installation.
