Repeated "Personalize your copy" message on Mac OSX

Some Mac OSX users (Primarily users that upgraded their operating system from 10.5.8 to 10.6.x)  may see this message repeatedly when launching Vectorworks even after entering it initially after installation:

If you have indeed already entered both a name and company, this is how to correct this error;

1) Go to HD:Users(Your User folder):Library:Application Support

2) Inside you will see a "Vectorworks" folder, ctrl-click or right click on this folder and choose "Get Info"

3) Down at the bottom near "Sharing and Permissions"unlock the lock with your login password

4) For each user in the list, set the permissions to "Read & Write"

5) Click the small gear icon, then choose "Apply to Enclose Items" and click OK.

After that operation completes, restart the machine and try opening Vectorworks again, you may need to enter your name and company one final time. Upon opening the application again however it should no longer repeatedly ask for your information.
