...face a lot of errors, bugs and frustration

I am not a happy Steinberg endorser that is always cheerful and glad with everything Steinberg does. I am a moody Slavic that doesn't have many reasons to be happy in this life. And when I need to manage licensees for Cubase - Steinberg doesn't give me a chance to be any happier.

At first I thought it will be an easy guide on how to solve a licenser issue but I ended up being angry and frustrated.

If you need to prove someone that Steinberg's licensing management system is utterly broken, feel free to use this video for the illustration.
