How to Run Cubase SX 3 on Mac OS X Without a Dongle




Cubase SX 3 is a powerful digital audio workstation (DAW) that was released by Steinberg in 2004. It offers advanced features for recording, editing, mixing, and producing music.

If you have lost your dongle, or if you want to use Cubase SX 3 on a Mac computer that does not have a USB port, you might be looking for a way to run Cubase SX 3 without a dongle. Fortunately, there are some solutions that can help you achieve this. In this article, we will show you how to run Cubase SX 3 on Mac OS X without a dongle using two methods: virtualization and emulation.


Method 1: Virtualization




Virtualization is a technique that allows you to run another operating system (OS) inside your current OS. For example, you can run Windows inside Mac OS X using a software called VirtualBox. This way, you can run Windows applications on your Mac computer.


To use this method, you will need the following:


  • A Mac computer with Mac OS X 10.7 or later



  • A Windows license and installation disc or ISO file





  • A Cubase SX 3 installation disc or ISO file





Here are the steps to follow:

  • Insert your Windows installation disc or mount your Windows ISO file and start the VM. Follow the instructions on the screen to install Windows on your VM.

  • Copy the file "CubaseSX3.exe" from the dongle emulator folder and paste it into the folder where you installed Cubase SX 3 on your VM. Replace the original file with the copied file.



  • Run Cubase SX 3 on your VM. You should be able to use it without a dongle.
