I've received this from a student:
For the past few days, I haven't been able to start Finale 25 on my Windows 11 computer. It hangs when starting up, and I wonder if it could be the license checking which is done over the internet or something else. I presume a Microsoft update has been applied that wasn't compatible with Finale.
Of course, MakeMusic are trying to get me to upgrade to version 27 -- which I'd pay for, but I obviously don't want to lose compatibility with your Finale!
Can anyone here give answers that he may find useful?

The student has now bought F 27, which may be my cue to get it too, even if (for now) I continue to use F26 for my own work.
