Got Snow Leopard? Make sure you have Suite 4.5.1

For those of you Plug-In Suite 4 owners who have been having activation issues after updating to Snow Leopard, I've just been told that if you're seeing error messages when trying to use the License Manager, it is most likely because you don't have the Plug-In Suite 4.5.1 update installed and you're running Plug-In Suite 4.5.0 or earlier.
The Plug-In Suite 4.5.1 update is free to all Plug-In Suite 4 owners and you can download it from our Software Updates page.
UPDATE: There is an UPDATED VERSION OF THE LICENSE MANAGER for Plug-In Suite 4.5.1 owners. Read this tech note from our Knowledge Base on how to download the updated license manager and how to install it.
Snow Leopard is really causing problems with the activation components and causing me unnecessary delays that a seriously jeopardising my work.
While working to a tight deadline recently, I had to request my activation limit be reset as I was prompted to reactivate my OnOne Plugin Suite license but couldn’t as it was already at it’s limit (on my MacBook Pro 15″ and iMac 24″).
Being in the UK, I had to wait a few hours before I could get a response, and managed to reactivate the software so I could carry on working on the job.
It’s the 17th – I’m still working on the job, and lo and behold, I’m being prompted for activation yet again!! What is going on????
All I’ve done to this machine is switch my energy saver preferences from better battery life to better performance.. please tell me the activation module accounts for the two graphic cards in the MBP 15″ and doesn’t see it as a different machine???? Am I going to have to reactivate every time I change my performance option???

Users of OnOne plugins may need to be cautious if they also use disk utility Cocktail. It appears that the current version of Cocktail )a;so 4.5.1) intereferes with the DRM system for OnOne plugins.
After using Cocktail it may be necessary to re-run the latest version of the OnOne License Manager in order to be able to use the plugins.
Unfortunately guys, there is still issues with 4.51 and snow leopard… Plug in Suite is crashing alot within CS3
Apart from that, great blog!
