yes, Cubase used a parallel port dongle in the 90s and then in the 2000s a not-iLok USB dongle called eLicenser. They have switched to software activation for their products since 2022.

That seems high but I know pricing can vary significantly across countries. Is that somewhere in Europe for example? Or any government or Apple taxes included? in the US, going through the official website, it shows $14 a month or $11.66 a
