Largo is copy-protected by the Soft eLicenser copy protection system. You do not need a USB dongle to use it. However, we strongly recommend to transfer the Largo license onto such a USB dongle (i.e. by Steinberg), since the license can become invalid in case of a hard disk crash or reinstallation of the operating system. The activation code which comes with the Largo package can only be used once to activate it. If you lost your Largo activation, you can request a new activation code through support@waldorfmusic.de. For that, we need the following information:
  • Copy of the purchase bill
  • Activation code
  • SeL number of the original installation (write down the number right after installing Largo for the first time)
  • SeL number of the new installation
