How to Get Free Installation of Cubase Pro 12.0.70 / Elements 11.0.30 eXTender: A Step-by-Step Guide

Are you eager to get started with the latest version of Cubase, but unsure about how to go about installing it? Look no further! In this article, we'll take you through a step-by-step guide on how to download and install Cubase Pro 12.0.70 and Elements 11.0.30 eXTender for free.

Before we begin, make sure you have your Steinberg shop account credentials ready. Yes, you read that right - separate from your Steinberg ID/MySteinberg account! If you've used the Steinberg Shop before, don't forget to gather those credentials as well. You can confirm your details by logging into the Steinberg Sign In page.

Now, let's talk about prices. They vary depending on the product you're updating or upgrading from. As a long-time customer, you might have multiple options to choose from, so be sure to review them carefully. Steinberg uses the terms 'update' and 'upgrade' to describe their process, but don't worry if you're confused - we'll clarify it for you.

In Steinberg's terminology, an update refers to moving from an older version number to the latest one (e.g., 7.5 to 12), while an upgrade means moving from a limited flavor of Cubase to a more full-featured one (for example, upgrading from Cubase Elements to Cubase Pro). Some Steinberg products come in different flavors (Pro, Artist, Elements, AI, LE) and versions (1-12).

As Steinberg transitions away from their USB eLicensers to the new Steinberg Licensing copy protection scheme, it's essential to be prepared for a complex update process involving multiple steps across various apps and web pages. With Cubase 12 having recently launched, many owners of prior Cubase versions are still struggling to update their rigs.

To avoid any confusion or frustration, we'll walk you through the entire process from start to finish. So, grab your Steinberg ID credentials and let's get started!
