'VST Connect SE' - Expire soon - Cubase 9 Artist Crash MAC

Hello

I have the same problem! A dialog opens up saying the license for VST Connect SE will expire in 10 minutes and 12 seconds, and then Cubase Artist 9 crashes. I have updated the program from Artist 8.5 and I have also tried the trail-version for Cubase Pro before I purchased Artist 8.5. I run Cubase on an iMac 27, and have updated Artist 9 to 9.0.20. The eLicensener is also updated…This has become very frustrating…

Please help…
