Re: [Avid-L2] AMA and P2 in MCv7.0.2

Here is what Avid support sent back to me:

"Thank you for the callback. I have found that a bug is logged for this issue currently.
UDevC00181948: Exception errors on launch when switching users in OSX.
This fix should be in the next release of MC. "

I had trouble using an admin account to install the software and then rebooting and trying to run as a regular user.

If I booted and logged in first as the admin all was fine - but if I booted up and logged in as regular user - MC won't launch.
Additionally, if you log in as admin, launch, logout to regular then no launch, logout to admin then no launch there either. (that was a terrible sentence I know)

Bottom line - if you are running Mac in an environment with regular users for editors - you need to stick with 7.0.0 for now.
(if you are me! ;) )

What could possibly go wrong with that set up? ;-) If I'm following correctly your saying 7.0.2/3 requires any user account to have administrator privileges. That would allow for multiple users but they all need admin privileges. Is this correct? If so it's not the existence of multiple users but the account privileges.
