Witches bring the true emulator of new Steinberg Activation Manager system (official code name : Silk).

It supports all current Silk powered applications.

* Works with R2R Steinberg releases.
* R2R release does not affect the legit Silk installation (application and Avtivation Manager).
* Emulated by single DLL less than 10KB DLL. No background process will run like original Silk.
* Applications take almost zero delay to check license. More than 5 sec faster on some computers.

Read included R2R.txt to check how to install and how legit Silk works.

v1.3.0 - New AVX2 optimized binary is now available. Max number of licenses is increased to 1024 from 256 for the future compatibility. Updated Test Tool shows the version of the emu. Steinberg had fixed a lot of bugs for Avtivation Manager (v1.5.1 now), poor legit users ;(

Maybe they need a licence first

If you talk about Virtual Guitarist 2, it's a very old app (2006), who was protected by a dongle (MCFACT).

This very hard protection system have been defeated only a few times (the first time, I think (not sure), was by the H2O geniuses... ).

In particular, after a very hard and very long work, an updated version of this system was defeated (for the last time) for the release of the beloved Cubase v5 by Team AiR (RIP, Gouda... And my deepest respect also to a pure magician: AD... ).

But AFAIK the AiR crack only works for Cubase 5, it could not work for VGuitarist 2.

See the manual, page 7, for details.

Our brother AD can help us with this, maybe with some tools, because I saw eLicenser (SeL) can be made into USB eLicenser, but in order to run older software with licenses, probably we need some driver and tool to install those licenses.
This is because no one gives a damn about old Steinberg software which is still relevant.

If I may, I don't think anyone could help with MCFACT (dongle) anymore (realize the looong time of dedication and hard work it cost to two incredible genius brothers (Gouda &AD) to finally be able to release C5 !

I think it is unimaginable today... So unless a miracle I would not bet a penny on the "Virtual" series (hardware dongle protected).

For everything that was protected by soft elicenser (everything that was included in Absolute 5 + everything Elements etc...) AiR and VR have already very well worked on these, as you know.

But you're perfectly right on a point: pre-Yamaha Stbg software is amazing, I still use today old plugs like Voice Designer / Voice Machine / Magneto and pure goldies like that

And to be complete, I don't think legit users have gained anything positive when Yamaha bought Steinberg, there is no more passion nor (positive) crazyness in this company, now it's just grey, sad business and voilà.

Can you explain to me why is it still relevant? Isn't Cubase projects backward compatible? I mean, you can load old projects in the newest version of Cubase. So why stick on an old program that is discounted? New should be better, there are some bugs always at lunch, but in a few months everything always works excellent. So you people who are stuck with old and not giving chance to new are the ones who are slowing down development. Regarding operating systems, games, programs, and more.

Gouda, bless him, he was great at his craft!, AIR cubase was more stable than the official version in my opinion!, btw. some people like to use old versions of software as they are very stable and still do what they used to without new gimmicks,I use an old hardware midex8 to get stronger midi performance, its code is not included in new version of cubase, so its good to use old version and new, why not its all good:)!!

Thanks TEAM R2R for updating the emulator, finally HALION 7 is working with all its libraries available, no more crashes and indeed response of apps is fantastic. A lot things to be tested but on first hand seems to look promising.


UPDATE:
VSTLive 2 still gives "No license found" all the rest works good so far :)

does VSTLive work when you force quit it (searching for licenses) and restart it ? Does it work when you start it as administrator the first time ?

VSTLive with Team VR emulator works, so it is not about permissions, but only this app asks for activation manager to be present on PC.

hey guys so I've had trouble with Steinberg installations for somtime now. The Emulator tests good, but it says the digital signature verification failed, R2R certifcate not installed, or .DLL is modified. Where am I suppose to install the certificate? I have halion 7, pad shop 2 , spectral layers, vst live, groove agent, Cubase 13, and Nuendo 13. I can't use any of them, no license found. It sucks too, I havent been able to use a Steinberg product since Hypersonic 10-15+ years ago LOL.

Look for R2R Root Certificate-R2R and install it to the root folder
Archieved the past for the future ..

so the .dll goes into the r2r folder or steinberg folder?
  Member 10.07.2023 204

Did you copied license-access-engine.dll from TEAM R2R Folder in C:\Program Files\Common Files
To
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Steinberg\Activation Manager Folder ?
If this folder not exist , you need create one
Check this and try again !

You have to copy the dll, not move it! The same dll have to be in both folders.

Important precision: The goal of this copy operation, is to be able to use official installers DLed directly from the official site (you will also be able to use the Download Manager to do that).

But, if you plan to use only R2R releases, this copy operation is not necessary. If you choose that, you avoid a lot of potential / future problems (like the company trying to gather / spy personal data...)

Though, an great aspect of the R2R Emulator is that you can DL and use all the encrypted *.vstsound libraries (samples, presets, etc... there is a lot!) without problem.

Hey, thanks for the reply. I just copied the .dll to the steinberg folder. The silk emulator is working again and says silk emulator ok, but it still says the the certificate isn't installed or modified or missing. still no digital signature. Where is the certifficate supposed to go? I think thats the part I'm messing up on
  Resident 7.07.2021 777

It's certainly because you don't have installed the certificate to the right place.

When you install it, you have to choose to do it as Root certificate, at the very top of the list, if not it will simply be useless.

This certificate is useful not only for Cubase and co, but also to control if the release you try to install is an authentic R2R release and not a fake.

I suggest to try again, and to correct / move the certificate to the place where it belongs, at the very top of the list : there, you will see that other root certificates are already installed on your system.

Yep you were right, it was weird because when I double clicked to open it, it wouldnt give me the option to install as a root. I right clicked and installed manually to root and it worked, I was letting it install automatically without selecting trusted root location. I'd assume others may have experienced the same ordeal. Thanks for the help, I'm so grateful and I'm all good to go now lol. I've never dealt with a cetrifcate file so that one was defintly new to me.

Hi @Earth33, am i reading that right? You can install official Steinberg apps if you have R2R's Silk 1.3 installed?

I.e. I want to use SpectraLayers 11.0.6, but R2R haven't released that update yet (latest r2r release is 11.0.4). Could i use the official one downloaded from the Steinberg website?

Just out of curiosity: if I haven't installed new Steinberg R2R stuff recently, is it still worth installing the new Silk? What I have now: latest C12-C13-Halion7-GA5-Padshop + 10-12 expansions for these.

Good to see R2R is still trying to make their emu better. I use TeamV.R.'s auth tool. Much easier to deal with and works with every Steinberg app - even grabbing the legit trial apps off the site will work with V.R..

I will calculate the price of the original that I need, in relation to this whole cabalistic process, as it will be less painful.

Nope... Once again as the last one, this R2R version does not recognize all libraries (Steinberg Groove Agent 5 v5.2.20-R2R)

Help... What's the problem??? any ideas???

Should I use the V.R version or what do you recomend???
