3. Activation of the Software
• Arturia may use a compulsory activation of the software and a compulsory
registration of the OEM software for license control to protect the software against
unlawful copying. If you do not accept the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the
software will not work.
• In such a case the product including the software may only be returned within 30
days following acquisition of the product. Upon return a claim according to § 11 shall not
apply.
4. Support, Upgrades and Updates after Product Registration
• You can only receive support, upgrades and updates following the personal
product registration. Support is provided only for the current version and for the previous
version during one year after publication of the new version. Arturia can modify and
partly or completely adjust the nature of the support (hotline, forum on the website etc.),
upgrades and updates at any time.
• The product registration is possible during the activation process or at any time
later through the Internet. In such a process you are asked to agree to the storage and
use of your personal data (name, address, contact, email-address, and license data) for
the purposes specified above. Arturia may also forward these data to engaged third
parties, in particular distributors, for support purposes and for the verification of the
upgrade or update right.
5. License module (eLicenser Key and/or Soft eLicenser)
• Arturia uses a hardware device connected through the USB connection of a
computer, the “eLicenser dongle” and/or a protection scheme, the “Soft eLicenser” for
license control (hardware and/or virtual dongle). The eLicenser dongle and/or Soft
eLicenser permanently saves the license information and regulates access to the
software. If a eLicenser dongle is required for the use of the software, then the eLicenser
dongle must be connected physically to the computer through the USB interface.
• For the activation of the software, updates or upgrades of the software the
computer which is connected to the Arturia key and/or using the Soft eLicenser or using
the OEM software must be connected to the server of SIA eLicenser through the Internet.
If the product was delivered with the eLicenser dongle, the license information was
already transferred to the eLicenser dongle. If the product was delivered with a product
card (without the eLicenser dongle), the activation codes of the enclosed product card
must be entered manually by the user upon installation and the license information must
be exchanged with the server of SIA eLicenser.
• In the event of OEM software, the activation codes will be send to an email-
address submitted by you during a registration and must be entered manually by the
user upon installation and the license information must be exchanged with the server of
SIA eLicenser.
• The reinstallation of the software - on the same or another computer - is
permitted only in case the already installed software cannot be used any more (e.g.
following deinstallation). If the software does not use an eLicenser dongle, the new
activation codes may be obtained from the user’s online account for support created
during the personal product registration. Further, the activation codes must be entered
manually by the user upon installation and the license information must be exchanged
with the server of SIA Steinberg. Arturia 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
