Remove eLicenser Control by Steinberg Media Tec...

eLicenser Control is a software program developed by Steinberg Media Technologies GmbH. The most common release is 6.8.5.1160, with over 6% of all installations currently using this version. Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background. Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. A scheduled task is added to Windows Task Scheduler in order to launch the program at various scheduled times (the schedule varies depending on the version). The software is designed to connect to the Internet and adds a Windows Firewall exception in order to do so without being interfered with. The primary executable is named iTunesIco.exe. The setup package generally installs about 6 files and is usually about 6.39 MB (6,702,421 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 7 (SP1) and Windows 10. While about 35% of users of eLicenser Control come from the United States, it is also popular in Germany and Italy.
