Logic 12 - Help! Won't launch because of App Store Authentication Error

[Mocster]

So, I updated my Logic to the new version through the App Store. Never had an issue using it over many years. Now, it launches but won't allow me to use it. I get this pop up.

I have signed out of the App Store and back in and have restarted my computer. Restarting helped where I could use it for about 30 seconds until this came up.

Any thoughts?

happened to me too, turns out they added some new DRM 🤦‍♀️ to logic in this update.
now you cannot run it at all unless your App Store is logged into the account that originally purchased Logic. I just have to log back into the account, but it's a pain since I have a few accounts with different apps.

This doesn't affect Final Cut for some reason. WTF apple.
