The latest version of Final Cut Pro seems not to work with this script:

main/final-cut-pro-trial-reset.swift:6: Fatal error: 'try!' expression unexpectedly raised an error: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=260 "The file “.ffuserdata” couldn’t be opened because there is no such file." UserInfo={NSFilePath=/Users/[RESTRICTED]/Library/Application Support/.ffuserdata, NSURL=file:///Users/[RESTRICTED]/Library/Application%20Support/.ffuserdata, NSUnderlyingError=0x12e610c40 {Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=2 "No such file or directory"}}

Does someone have a solution?
