I am also getting the above all of a sudden. Are the glory days over? Can anyone help? I’m on the most up to date Ventura - but it was doing this before I updated too.

ive used this once before and it worked. im trying to use it again and it isnt working. terminal is saying operation not permitted. i already tried to look and delete the file under library, but im honestly not even sure what file i should delete. any help or insight would be greatly appreciated!

Use this command sudo mv -v ~/Library/Application\ Support/.lpxuserdata ~/.Trash it should work.

when I enter this code it asks me for a password, is that normal?

Yes, it's normal. Be careful to learn more abou running command with sudo privilege from here: https://www.techtarget.com/searchsecurity/definition/sudo-superuser-do

Says Operation not permitted. Any one know the reason why?

Do you have any idea how to apply the command to Dorico 5? Though the trial period has gone I wasn't able to give it a try for some reasons, thank you

If you are unable to use your regular password, you may need the admin password

why not just rm -f ~/Library/Application\ Support/.lpxuserdata?

@maxwellmlin sir, does this line of code works for the latest logic pro trial update?? I'm scared to delete the old one

@Doghead1234

everything still works

@Doghead1234

if you're unable to use the command you can delete the file manually by going to library - application support and deleting the .lpxuserdata file

@Doghead1234

then just restart logic pro and the trial will be at 90 days again

Getting this message - says something about trying to rename it? Any way to fix this? On Ventura. Also using this command for Logic Pro Trial

quite often problem, as it says there is no such file. open the app and then try again

@Doghead1234

if you still see this try to delete the file manually by selecting folders as the command says (library/application support/.lpxuserdata)

So does this only reset the trial period but all your saved data or created music remains? And also, do you know if this same method works for Final Cut? Thanks.

Yes, everything remains. It works on final cut too, but the file is .ffuserdata
