How to reauthorize DP, AudioDesk, or Unisyn under Tiger (OS 10.4)

At this time, reauthorizing under Mac OS X v10.4 must be done through the Terminal.

  1. Quit all running applications. Make sure you are logged in as an administrator user, then proceed.

  2. Go to Applications/Utilities and open Terminal.

  3. Copy and paste this command, then press Return:

    cd /

  4. Then copy and paste this command, then press Return:

    rm Auth-DigitalPerformer\ 7.0

    If you are instead reauthorizing AudioDesk 2, Unisyn 2.1, or an earlier version of Digital Performer, use the appropriate one of these commands.

    rm Auth-AudioDesk\ 2.0
    rm Auth-Unisyn\ 2.1
    rm Auth-DigitalPerformer\ 4.5
    rm Auth-DigitalPerformer\ 5.0
    rm Auth-DigitalPerformer\ 6.0

  5. Now copy and paste this command, then press Return:

    ls

    This will show a list of the files in the currect directory. If step 4 was successful, you will not see the authorization file in the list.

  6. Finally, copy and paste this command, then press Return:

    exit

    You can now quit Terminal.

  7. Next, repair your disk permissions, using Disk Utility (also found in Applications/Utilities).

  8. After that finishes, launch DP with the installer disc in the drive. Enter your name and keycode, and it should authorize properly.
