Live 12 keeps asking for authorization

Post by tintala » Sun Mar 10, 2024 5:56 pm

w-11 pro - Live 12 keeps asking for authorization each time I open it. Also , it now starts up immediately when I turn on my computer. I checked how to disable the startup, and it's not even listed in Windows start-up apps. Is there a preference to disable it? But the constant authorization is a pain.

I can't help on Win, but no doubt this is an OS setting as Live doesn't have any option/pref to launch itself automatically.

Regarding authorization, you might want to try thrashing (well, moving it to a safe place) Live's Unlock.cfg file (and maybe also its Preferences.cfg) and restart it. No idea if this will solve your issue, but that's what I would first try.

Now, are those 2 issues related... that is THE question. Hopefully some Windows expert will chime in.
