What I'm doing right now is disconnecting from network since I'm using 6.0.4 and there's no other serial around, just one student works so I think I have to block the port just for final cut.

So what little snitch to use?

final cut loads fine with little snitch. no issue blocking the network query.

What network query does final cut does?
adrock42
something along the lines of. if there are other computers that are running FCP and the serials match and it is not a volume license dont let FCP run. I work for a university and we have te volume license so this doesnt happen.

Hi, I was wondering, how exactly do you use Little Snitch to block Final Cut Pro's network query? I have two computers running Final Cut on one network, and I need both to work. But they both won't run at the same time because of this issue. I got Little Snitch, and set 'deny all connections' for Final Cut Pro. But it still won't let Final Cut stay open (since it's running on another machine). Any idea what I'm missing? Thanks!

  3. Change Allow Connections to Deny Connections
  4. Click the down arrow with the gear to select "Choose Application" and Select Final Cut
  5. Leave Server/Port/Protocol set to Any
  6. Click OK
