I found out the solution! It was on an old, unrelated post Current Setup: 2021 Macbook M1 Pro, Monterey 12.6.3 Cubase 12.0.52 LM 3.4.4.31 and BFD 3.4.5.10 beta You need to uninstall and then delete remaining files and reinstall LM and BFD to get the LM to authorize BFD and have it stick Reference this old post from Drew: > [@Cannot open BFD3 after 3.4.4.29 update](https://forum.bfddrums.com/t/cannot-open-bfd3-after-3-4-4-29-update/3036/2): > > Hi, Do you have a full crash log? These ones, particularly the standalone one, look incomplete. This could be a resources issue. I would suggest trying to clear stuff out. Looks like you may need to do a deep clean of the BFD software off your mac. Firstly, Deauthorise all your BFD software and log out of BFD LM. Please follow the instructions below to wipe BFD off your mac. Delete - Mac HD/Users/ USERNAME /Library/Application Support/BFD Drums/BFD3/ Delete - Mac HD/Users/ USERNAME /Library/… Remaining issues (for my setup) are minor: - Sometimes when I select the track in Cubase, the BFD audio stutters a bit while moving the mouse, but not enough to bother me. - When I open a session after the 90 day authorization expires, if I authorize, the BFD VST reverts to default settings, but only in that session. I exported my template layout as a preset and simply import it again to fix that session. If I make changes to it for a particular project, I export an updated preset for that project. Other sessions are not affected, so long as I reauthorize first without opening them. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.bfddrums.com/t/license-manager-3-0-6-22-authorization-loop-issue-solved-m1-mac-works/3934)._
