Steinberg Key Required!

Steinberg The Grand 2 requires a Steinberg Key - a small USB copy protection device that prevents other people from making illegal copies. Users of Cubase SX, Nuendo 2 or 3, Hypersonic or HALion 3.0 will already have the required Steinberg Key. If you do not already have a Steinberg Key then you may purchase one for a small extra charge when you buy The Grand 2. You will not be able to use The Grand 2 without a Steinberg Key.
