Help with Cubase SX Installation

[j_jano]

After I installed Cubase SX, I tried to open the program and it keeps giving me and error message stating

" An error has been signaled by the Protected Object Sever.

--> Application Cubase SX has caused the error.
--> No PROTECTION DEVICE connected.

Connect device and click OK to retry.
Click Cancel to abort "

Now wat I want to know is why is it givin me that problem :headbang: and it wat is a protection device and how should I get passed this error message to use the program.

Thanx in advance to anyone who can help me.

Actually I did purchase The program

B4 more people come tell me I don't have the USB key...I also got this error message that I didn't show in the screenshot...it's a Win XP error message.

I'm on a mac, a get this kind of message when I don't plug my key.

weird. try to reinstall the usb device or try a different usb slot.
the best thing is probably to ask steinberg. they should know their products ...

Cubase 5.1 will work in the older versions of Windows.
