Mac computers in the lower Library Mac lab have licensed copies of Finale for class use. On occasion, Finale will prompt the user to enter a license activation code. When this prompt is ignored, the application will open automatically and appear to run normally. However, when users try to save their work they get an error saying, "Saving and printing have been disabled because your authorization grace period has expired."

This page gives the steps to get around this error and use the fully licensed program installed.
