Reset Avid activation and Application Manager

#!/bin/bash

# Bash script to deal with an Avid Application manager on OSX that can't connect or retreive your account info. This will totally reset your license
# information on the client so you MUST re-activate after running this. Hey, not my fault... You could easily put this inside an Automator app if
# that's your cup of tea.
#
# 1. Save the below to something like 'AVID_reset_activation.sh'
# 2. in terminal: chmod +x /path/to/AVID_reset_activation.sh
# 3. in terminal: /path/to/AVID_reset_activation.sh
# 4. Look at the output and see if it looks as expected. After it's done, restart Avid Application Manager. On my machines I don't see the icon
# in the menu bar after launching. So clink on first empty space near first already visible icon. Good one Avid...
#
# If you have no experience in stuffs like this you probably shouldn't use nor run this. I take no responsibility for any misstakes or
# error at your end. I threw this together do deal with our 15ish clients that couldn't connect with the notoriously shitty
# Avid Application Manager. So yeah, use with caution.
