Steinberg originally developed the system (the yellow USB dongle or soft-eLicenser). ReFX adopted this for Nexus 2.

"The eLicenser control component is missing, outdated, or blocked by system permissions. Nexus 2.2.1 cannot establish a handshake with the license server."

If you lost the dongle, you lost thousands of dollars of software. If the software license server hiccuped, your session froze. The eLicenser was the friction point—the constant reminder that you did not truly own the sounds echoing in your headphones; you were merely renting them.
