    Hope someone can help.

    I forgot I added one VI to a Logic project on my laptop, and the samples are on an external drive I don't have with me, and I don't have the Vienna key with me. When I try opening, a window pops up saying "eLicenser Control - Error... Click to abort", but I can't click anything. It gives me the spinning wheel, and the Force Quit window lists Logic as not responding.

    If I ever tried opening a project with a plugin problem before (like an expired demo), Logic has always let me in to the project even though the plugin wasn't available.

    How can I get into this project?

    Thank you!!!!

    Also, when I Force Quit Logic, the eLicenser window stays, which means it's coming from some separate software. I suspect that if that software weren't there, Logic would do what it would normally do and load everything but the problem plugin. For some reason, the eLicenser software is preventing Logic from proceeding, and there's no way to interact with it, apparently. So, is there a way to temporarily disable the eLicenser software, which would at least let me into the project?

    Thanks again!

    Ok, I figured it out. Here's what I did in case it's helpful to someone else. It seems like the eLicenser software (current version) is unresponsive if there's an error, at least in this case, and I couldn't even access the Logic project without VSL. I dragged HD > Library > Application Support > Syncrosoft Soft-eLicenser and HD > Library > Application Support > eLicenser to the Desktop. Then when I opened the project, Logic gave me errors that there was an AU plugin problem, but it continued without it.
