Don't require "installation" of license file

[mwean]

I just set up a new machine, and I have a bunch of settings files that all get symlinked to their correct locations. This doesn't seem to work for fman, because it shows as unregistered. I had to delete the User.json file and re-install it. It would be great if it could just check for the existence of the file. Thanks!

Hi Matt, are you sure you set up the symlink correctly? Because I just tried and it worked for me. I did:

mv ~/Library/Application\ Support/fman/Local/User.json .
ln -s `pwd`/User.json ~/Library/Application\ Support/fman/Local

Yeah, I'm sure it was there because when I tried to open it, I got an error saying the file was already there. Do you store the fact that it's licensed anywhere else, or just check for the file?

[mherrmann]

fman just checks for the file.

Did you restart fman?

Hmm that's weird. I noticed the unregistered prompt after my laptop restarted. There might be something weird with the link because I'm linking from a Keybase volume, which uses FUSE. I'll keep an eye on it. Thanks!
