The Steinberg Key
Please read this section before installing the Virtual Guitarist software.
Included with the Virtual Guitarist 2 package, you will find an activation
code for the Steinberg Key (sometimes referred to as a “dongle”), a
hardware copy protection device that is part of the Virtual Guitarist
copy protection scheme. Virtual Guitarist 2 will not run if there is no
Steinberg Key and if this key hasn’t been properly activated. You can ei-
ther separately purchase a new Steinberg Key for use with Virtual Gui-
tarist 2, or use a key previously bought for use with a different Steinberg
application.
The Steinberg Key
The Steinberg Key is, in fact, a little computer on which your Steinberg
software licenses are stored. All hardware-protected Steinberg prod-
ucts use the same type of key, and you can store more than one license
on one key. Also, licenses can (within certain limits) be transferred be-
tween keys – which is helpful, e.g. if you want to sell a piece of software.
• If you have a Windows PC, the installation routine will initiate a restart
of Windows after installation of the key drivers and the program soft-
ware. After the restart, you can plug the key into the USB port to pro-
ceed with the key activation.
• If you have an Apple Macintosh computer, there will be no automatic
restart. Be sure to read the information regarding the Steinberg Key
that is displayed during the installation process.
• If you already own copy-protected Steinberg software, remove any
existing Steinberg Keys from the computer’s USB port during the Vir-
tual Guitarist 2 installation routine.
