When I try and open BFD3 in Cubase I get an error saying that I need to login into my inmusic account, which I am. I try following suggestions from another thread including downloading a new license manager, but none of those options worked for me.
Any suggestions how I can get authorization to work for BFD3 in Cubase? Thanks!
Open the LM and log yourself out of it manually then close the LM.
Now open your browser and log into your inmusic account and then close your browser.
Now open BFD3 and you should be good to go.
Unfortunately that hasn’t worked. I can open the program in standalone, but I’m still not able to access BFD3 through Cubase 11 because it says I’m not logged into my inmusic account (using macOS Monterey)
Ahh, Monterey. Yeah, there are some problems with that. I’m holding back on Big Sur for a while because of it.
One thing you can do is blow away everything in ~/Library/Application Support/com.inmusicbrands/softwareunlock. That forces the LM to reach out to inmusic, and also to sync with whatever browser magic needs to be done to make authorization work.
Make sure you’re looking in “/Users/username/Library/Application Support”, not “/Library/Application Support”. Nothing works without it, not even standalone. That’s where the keys are stored.
Thanks. I found the right folder and I deleted the files but it didn’t change anything. I’m still not able to access BFD3 as a virtual instrument in Cubase.
I am in the exact same situation.
The license is approved in the license manager, but when I open the BFD, I get the error message “BFD3 has been disabled because You are not logged into your inMusic account” and I cannot run the software.
BFD3 has been down for two weeks for me. Drew said to email him, and I’ve been waiting for a reply for 5 days. I think it’s time to give up on this platform and head over to SD. I really didn’t want to do this because I spent so much money on BFD but this is ridiculous. I’ve absolutely had it with this company
I upgraded my BFD2 to BFD3 recently… I’ve tried about a half dozen times to sort out why this isn’t operational… I’ve NEVER gotten V3 to work… because of this very problem. I’ve updated it all. Deleted it all. REBUILT MY ENTIRE MAC. And, still, this isn’t operational.
An update would be appreciated since my upgrade right now feels like it’s a paperweight.
After contacting support and sending in the logs, Sam has not responded in over 10 days.
I’ve never seen a team where support is not up and running for such a long time.
It seems that with Cubase does not work if License Manager version is 3.0.5.3.
If the LM version is 3.0.5.3, reinstall BFD3.4.3.7 and the LM version will revert to 3.0.5.2, so you can run Cubase by authorizing with LM 3.0.5.2.
However, if the LM version is 3.0.5.2, the same error occurs in standalone (and Ableton Live 11), so I installed two versions of LM, 3.0.5.2 and 3.0.5.3, using the following method.
Install BFD3.4.3.7. (LM 3.0.5.2 will be installed)
Install LM 3.0.5.3, choose “Keep Both” instead of “Replace”. (3.0.5.3 will be installed as “BFD License Manager 2.app”)
I could avoid this error by authorizing with LM 3.0.5.2 for Cubase 11, or LM 3.0.5.3 for Ableton Live and Standalone.
