Need Old Cubase Dongle or VST Files Converted to .CPR

Livonia MI

Description

I have old Cubase VST song files from early 2000s that I need brought into the new Cubase file format. Steinberg changed the file format around 2000 to a new format. I have old songs that I wrote that I'm trying to bring back to life from that era. I've been in touch with Steinberg/Yamaha, but they have no support for this. I'm out in the cold... According to the Steinberg website, "Mac file format has been replaced by the current project file format.CPR. With the introduction of Cubase SX 1, Cubase SL 1 and Cubase SE 1 in 2001. Cubase SE 3, Cubase SL 3 and Cubase SX 3 are the last versions that are capable of importing the classic Cubase song formats. Therefore, they can be used as format converters." I found Cubase SX3 and downloaded it on one of my old Macs, so it will make the conversion from VST. Now I need a dongle with the serial number to use the old SX3 version. There was never a stand-alone conversion program available to make this conversion according to Steinberg/Yamaha. Bummer... I am looking to be able to work with these old files in Logic Pro or Cubase 12 as an end result. Any help would be appreciated!
