Licensing Server issues?

Anth34209 · 01-27-2026, 10:37 AM

So this morning I was gonna play OOTP or FHM and saw tha I had to relicense my games. Why would I have to do this since I just played them last night at my house. I only ever have them installed at my work and my house. I went and unlicensed my FHM12 from the internet but still could not register as it says please wait a few mins.

Any issues today?

Same issue here only I put in my license key and it still doesn’t work. Never had this happen before and I can’t play.

Same issue this AM. By any chance, any of you having issues upgrade MacOS to new beta software update (Tahoe Beta 26.3)? I have two macs and the one that this happened to was updated and the other was not. Game plays fine as usual on the non updated system. Thinking it might be the updated OS?

Yes. That’s exactly what happened! I did the Beta 26.3 update this morning now I can’t play. I did send a report to Apple’s Feedback Assistant.

Mine is on Beta 3 as well of 26.3. Good catch. Mine at home work fine on my windows 11 machine.

I too have come to realize that it's the upgrade to macOS Tahoe 26.3 beta that caused a change to OOTP Baseball 26 and OOTP Baseball 24 as well, with either license key no longer being activated. I am willing to bet the OS introduced some new security related change that is interfering with the license key check.

Here’s hoping the next Mac Beta update fixes it. I’m in first place with a month to go in my season.

Same, just updated to MacOS 26.3 and it won't work...

New update out now. Non-beta 26.3. Downloaded it and now able to relicense and play.
