different recording software, you can skip this section. 

Installation 

To install Cubase LE 6, insert the DVD-ROM into the DVD-ROM drive of your computer. Under 
Windows, the installation will normally start automatically – if not, you can launch it manually by 
starting the installer from the DVD-ROM drive. To install Cubase LE 6 under Mac OS X, double 
click on the installer icon 

To proceed with the installation, follow all instructions on screen. During the installation the

software will be installed as well. To use Cubase LE 6 for more than 30 

days, you need to activate it with this software via the internet. This means that you need an active 
internet connection on the computer you are installing Cubase LE 6. We recommend you to activate 
the software as early as possible.
