License Code Every time?

Why is TT asking for the license code every time I update the forms and try to launch the program (iMac, TT 2021)?  I've been a TT user for decades and never had this happen.  PITA!

 

Is there any way to fix it so I can launch and update without the extra steps/hassle?

License Code Every time?

The same day there are heightened cyber concerns due to the Ukrainian situation, you suggest I remove my firewall etc?

None of the solutions make sense for me.  (I understand them, they just are not good answers) I’d rather type in the security code each time I use the product.

I’m on the same computer I’ve used for 7 years with TT each year and never had this problem.  TT is up to date, as is my iOS.  Nothing else has changed on my end.  And, frankly, I shouldn’t have to change anything now to get TT to work properly.  No other licensed product on my computer misbehaves this way.
