I'm trying to install Vectorworks 2024 for Mac in a lab environments where multiple students will need to use this software on the same computer. I'm installing it using command line options from the installer so I can deploy it via Jamf. This is the line I'm using to install: /Library/Application\ Support/NAU_Software/Vectorworks_Install/Vectorworks\ 2024\ Installer.app/Contents/Resources/installer/Install\ Vectorworks2024.app/Contents/MacOS/installbuilder.sh --unattendedmodeui none --mode unattended --Serial <my serial number>. The problem is when I open Vectorworks it isn't licensed despite including the serial number in the command. Even when trying to license manually I get the error that Vectorworks doesn't have access to the ldf file and the ldf file is located in the current User's folder. This location is a problem for me because I need this to work any user that logs in and I can't just give open access to all the user folders because then someone potentially could make changes to another person's files. Could someone please let me know if I'm doing something wrong or why Vectorworks is trying to store the ldf file in a User folder and not /Library/Application Support/ with the rest of the files. I've attached screenshots of the error popups I'm getting
