Steve Oakley Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I have 2 copies. one bought thru apple app store, other was included with some other purchase I made. On machine giving me problems, app store app indicated I need to DL Photo, but also sees version 1.7.2 is installed which is a previous beta. When I launch the current beta, it asks for email + activation code which I put in, but doesn't work... but it does / should work. suggestions ? delete prev beta, installed 1.7.1 from apple app store. it runs ok. started up 1.7.2 beta and still asks for email + activation and fails S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that activating the beta depends on having the retail version installed in the standard place.

Steve Oakley Posted August 15, 2019 Author Share Posted August 15, 2019 yes of course regular install / location. on 10.15 you can't do much else even if you wanted to now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan C Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Steve Oakley Could you please confirm, have you move the Beta to your applications folder before starting the app? Have you run the current retail version since installing it again from the Mac App store? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
