When I open BeerSmith 2.3.7 of my MacBookPro 13 retina (mid 2014) running MacOS Sierra 10.12.2  I get the following error message when I open the program


A lock file indicates another copy of BeerSmith is running or did not close properly. Running more can one copy can result in data loss. Press Yes to override the lock and open BeerSmith or No to close BeerSmith.

I've searched to see of another copy exist (2.3.7 is my first time I am using beer smith).    I recall using the trial version and upgrading to the paid version, but I recall doing that by entering the registration key  in the trial version.   

I also run mobile lite on my iphone and use the cloud to save recipes.   

 
This can happen if the program does not shut down correctly on its previous run which is probably the case here.  You can override and continue as long as you only have one copy running on your current machine.

Its not a licensing issue - the program simply did not clean up a lock file when it shut down last time or did not shut down correctly.
