Having to re-enter DP Key code every time

[Tidwells@aol.com]

Since upgrading from Mavericks to Mojave last week, I now have to enter my key code every time I boot up DP 9.52. Is there a cure for this?

I didn't experience this when I recently moved from Sierra to Mojave. You might want to reach out to MOTU...

Could be a path that got corrupted or a system setting that didn’t port over.

Reinstall 9.52. Reboot. Re-enter your info again if prompted. That should do it. If not, give MOTU support a call.

Thanks, Mike!

It looks like simply re-booting my Mac fixed the problem! I guess I had not restarted my computer since installing Mojave, although the installation process restarts the computer...

Yes, this seems to surprise a lit of people over at Macrumors. “But I never had to reboot before...” is a constant whine. Mojave does demand a lot of it, however.

Another thing that I recommend is doing a Safe Boot — boot with the Safe key down; log in when prompted, reboot after your icons finish rebuilding. If you have any generic alias icons, this will fix that as it rebuilds system paths and resets your caches to default. Every Mojave install (I do a lot) has left generic alias icons. Safe Boot makes some launch items a little faster.
