Disabling Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV) on Mac OSX

Mac OSX Only

If a user has disabled/avoided using any Firewalls or Proxy servers on their network, but are still unable to activate Vectorworks on their current network connection, in some instances this will correct the problem:

1) Close Vectorworks if it is still open displaying the Activation error.

2) Under Apple > System Preferences > Network > Advanced, uncheck the option for: Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV)

3) Launch Vectorworks and click "Activate"
