Maya2020 trial version crashed on start-up

Anonymous — Tue, 19 Jan 2021 14:16:21 GMT

I downloaded Maya2020 trial (for business user + single user) to my macbook pro(16-inch, 2019, macOS Big Sur ver 11.1). It worked well at that time and I shut down the macbook as normal. However, when I used the macbook today and launched the Maya app again, it popped out stack trace error message. I have found a similar issue here but its solution was about versioning.

I have re-installed a few times but it didn't work. I have also reset the maya preference as mentioned and still not working. Here below is the error message and hope that someone could help:

Stack Trace:

Problem is solved! I found the solution here.

It is about something like the permission of accessibility in Security & Privacy. Actually, the app asked me about accessibility permission previously but I didn't set it at that time. I didn't know it will cause trouble like this. Hope this will be fine in the future.
