[QUOTE="dubbi, post: 1332316, member: 225556"] Thanks Vansmith for your quick response!!! I have a software called babylon (a translator) that I recently migrated from my other computer. (I also upgraded my mac-mini to lion which I'm not sure has anything to do with that as the software worked well before). Every time it launched it required I input my registration number. I contacted the support group which gave me the following instruction that should fix the problem: They asked me to delete a file and then do the following: ********* Go to : Mac\users\*user you’re logged in* \Library\Right Click on the “Preferences” folder and press the “Get info”. Change all the users permission to “Read & Write”. Go to :Mac\Library\Right Click on the “Preferences” folder and press the “Get info”. Change all the users permission to “Read & Write”. ************ When I attempted to follow them and make all permissions read/right I noticed I can't do that. Now when I launch the translator and input in the registration number it says: "Babylon cannot update preferences directory, your license can not be saved." Any ideas?? Thanks again!!! [/QUOTE]
