Re: [Avid-L2] Segmentation Fault Main Thread Error on Launch

Fine. I did a clean install. I have a subscription, and now, when I launch the app it asks me how I want to activate it, either via the web and the Application Manager, or by using a dongle, or by using the trial. Of course, again, I already have a functioning subscription, but when I select that activation option jack sh-t happens, and I'm stuck in Nowhere Land.I even tried deactivating and then reactivating, but I can't even do that! No, I get a message saying, "Failed Deactivation… No record of this device was found."

What?!

I know this is the oldest plaint on this list, but please, why in the name of all that's holy, is the process of activating and using software you've purchased such a g-damned big hairy monster deal with Avid?! Why does it take an act of freakin' god to just use your product? And why is getting any help such a Herculean task?!

Yes, I know, invoke Marianna name. And that's a comfort, to be sure. But why should she get the river of shite that flows off of this byzantine process? I mean, there must actually be a line somewhere buried deep in the Avid corporate bylaws that states, "At no time shall Avid Customer Service ever be allowed to progress beyond frustrating and/or annoying. Maddening to the point of self-inflicted wound preferred."

I agree with Job. Don't migrate. Clean install it.

FYI that error is a generic error. It does not point to a specific trigger.
