Deauthorizers crash after HD initialization

[MoreDSP]

I just initialized and partitioned my system hard drive. I copied the software back on. But now when I start Protools it freezes during the "Loading plugins". I then have to restart the mac and copy a fresh DAE file. PT boots fine if I take Drawmer, D-Verb, and Virus out of the plug in folders. If I open these plugs deauthorizers , the deauthorizer crashes before any dialog box show up. (Also Unity is not working but I haven't debugged that yet) Everything was fine before I initialized my system drive. I probably should have deauthorized everything beforehand, but according to Digi it wasn't necessary. Ah the joy of copy protection!

-Make sure USB Floppy Enabler v2.1 or later is installed in your Extensions folder as well as enabled within Extensions Manager.

Brent,

Yes, I already have USB Floppy Enabler 2.1.1 enabled. It is strange how some of the deauthorizers work and some don't.

I backed everything up, and changed back to a single partition. I was then able to recover my keys off the hard drive. So moral of the story is don't repartition without first deauthorizing. (Sounds like good advice for third world politicians.)
