Dear Steinberg!

Why does the download manager have problems updating media bay, activation manager on my MacBook M3? This has been going on for months and it´s getting boring. I’m really fed up with the “failed to update something” message every time I run download manager. Currently I have macOS 27, but the problem was present with earlier versions too.
