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.
Quit all running applications. Make sure you are logged in as an administrator user, then proceed.
Go to Applications/Utilities and open Terminal.
Copy and paste this command, then press Return:
cd /
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\ 6.0Now 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.
- Finally, copy and paste this command, then press Return:
exit
You can now quit Terminal.
Next, repair your disk permissions, using Disk Utility (also found in Applications/Utilities).
After that finishes, launch DP with the installer disc in the drive. Enter your name and keycode, and it should authorize properly.
