Sibelius 8 - Yosemite 10.10.5 issues

[geekgirl]

Hi,

 

We have had so many issues with Sibelius 8 on Yosemite (10.10.5) after upgrading from Sibelius 6.

 

Sibelius issues have been non stop:

 

1. Couldn't activate Licence Server at first from the upgrade and had a remote call with Avid who resolved the issue.

2. Couldn't active the Licence on client machines and had a remote call with Avid who sent me instructions to active each client machine manually in Terminal - not ideal but had to be done.

3. After successfully activating Licences we then got an error a week later on the client machines stating a License issue "The Licence Server is not responding. Sibelius will save your work and close". The seat number was stuck on 39 when we had 15 clients using the licences (25 used of 40). Another call to Avid (19 minutes on hold before speaking to an actual person) where they just de-actived and re-activated the License Server.

4. Sibelius running extremely slow when opening, when trying to open past projects saved on network drives and extremely slow when trying to save projects to networked drives. Constant crashing of the software when trying to save. Another call to Avid who admitted that there is an issue with Yosemite (10.10) which does crash Sibelius but they are "investigating". Remoted on to see slow issue and then sent an email with instructions on how to "Speed up Sibelius" (How to speed up Sibelius) - no mention of version 8 in this document...

 

Just to let everyone know really and wondering if any one else has experienced these issues?

Urghgh. I'm being pestered to install this on our newest Macs, when it comes. Sounds like a joy.
