I migrated via Time Capsule to a new machine. When I launch the FL I have to introduce my activation again. When I add my info it show me this (see image)
At the help info on their website it says I need to remove/rename a .lic file that I am not finding in my Library folder.
I emailed FL but I need to use it as soon as possible and for sure before their help will come.
Any help????

[ Caveat: I don't have FontLab, so can't verify the location. ]
It looks like the .lic file is supposed to be in either:/Library/Preferences/ ~/Library/Preferences/
Via the command-lline in Terminal.app, you can look for it:cd ~/Library/Preferences ls *.lic
OR:find ~/Library/Preferences -name '*.lic'
The name will probably be something like "com.fontlab.*.lic", so you could replace "*.lic" above with that.
If it's not in your user preferences directory, try looking in the system preferences folder (i.e., removing the tilde "~").
Another directory/folder to possibly look:~/Library/Application Support/Fontlab/
There may be a subdirectory for FontLab Studio in there, as there is one for the beta of TransType4 that I tried.
Good luck!1 -
You could also try from the command-line (to locate the file):
mdfind -name .lic
