2. Mac - License not Found

Modified on Fri, 17 Jan at 12:43 AM

The “License not found” will appear if the file mph.license and/or hardware.id files are missing from the /MP/Host folder.


First, ensure you have both files in the MP Host folder as shown here:

The hardware.id file is generated automatically when you run the MP Host plugin.
The mph.license file should be downloaded from the user portal.

Do not rename any of these files. If the filenames are not exactly as shown, you will get the error.


If you believe your license is generated ok, on the new Mac computer, strict permissions may be the issue. You can try the following in a terminal


sudo chmod 777 ~/Library/Application\ Support/MP/Host


It will ask for your password and then enter.

Then try opening the MPH again.


Please note that if the license is not found, then it will not allow the hardware controller to be connected to the MP Host software.
