License not working Mac OS M1 Sequoia
Hope someone had this issue before: when I open Maxon app and then I login says login ok and freezes. HELP
Very Thanks Mater, you are mu saviour. Thank you
This worked perfectly for me. (Macbook Pro, M1 Pro, MacOs Sequoia) Here’s how:
1. Install Maxon App. (You’ll need to sign in. Just create a Maxon account if you don’t have one.)
2. Block all internet traffic. Either by using Little Snitch, or turning off wifi/ethernet.
3. Install Red Giant plugins.
4. Run the script by:
a. open the Terminal app from Applications/Utilities
b. In the Terminal window type “sudo sh” (remove the quotation marks and use all lower case letters) then press SPACE.
c. drag the script file (maxon_2025.2.1_patch.sh) from Finder into the Terminal window.
d. Press ENTER.
5. MacOS might give you an error that Terminal wants to change an app/program. Follow the prompts to give Terminal access to changing apps/programs. If you get this error, you’ll have to run the script again.
6. Make sure the Maxon app is turned on as a Startup Item in System Preferences. (This should happen automatically.)
7. I don’t know if this will continue to work without Little Snitch blocking the plugin’s internet traffic, so I would probably not do any of this without having Little Snitch installed. But I could be wrong, so please comment if you did this without Little Snitch and it continues to work after a reboot.
You’re done.

License found and valid.
The license is not working. Even though it was successfully patched, the unlicensed version is still out there.
Not working on M1 2020 ” FAILED: License needs activation ” or ” After Effects error: This effect cannot be applied because it cannot be initialized. Try reinstalling or contacting the plug-in developer. (25 :: 3) “.
It is running now after a bit of work. The key is – after running the script in terminal- to turn on the Red Giant agent in Settings – General – Login items..
Exactly.
Install the Maxon app
log in with a email and a password created for this purpose
Install the plugs you need
close Maxon app and allow connections if asked
Place the script in your app folder if you like.
Then in terminal type sudo sh /
(Space after the / )
then drag and drop the script from your app folder into the terminal window
Press enter
all done
Master is a really nice guy, arrogant and unfriendly. Even if one completely understands how it works, he is condescending in a very despicable way. Keep up that disgusting attitude and you will come a long way….
Do this instead of what instructed in point 3:
– Open Terminal and type chmod +x
Do not press Enter after typing it. Leave it like that and drag the patch file to terminal next to what you just typed
– Press enter
– Now that it “chmoded” the file, drag the file again to Terminal and press Enter.
– It should work now. It did for me.
go too terminal. Type in sudo sh (leave a space) then drag and drop the patch folder onto terminal and hit enter. Enter your password. All done and sorted
Calm your tits Mr.
work perfectly 🙂
It worked for me. Did what the master said. Worked fine. use chat gpt to clarify the steps if you dont know.
Doesn’t really work. The app is installed and activated, but all plugins are missing and therefore cannot be used. Although it appears that the plugins have been installed, they are not. So this app is useless.
Are you all dumb and stupid???
Run script with: sudo sh /path/to/the/fucking/place/where/the/script “maxon_2025.2.1_patch.sh”/are/located/in/your/computer…
or Write “sudo sh” followed by a space and then drag and drop the “maxon_2025.2.1_patch.sh” script, then press Enter.
Thats it, stupid animals!
