Hi, no, it's not that worse. I didn't had this but it would help to kill the frozen kernel which is occupying your licence. Just open a "Terminal" (it's a program under a subdirectory of the Applications dir, you should find it). Type an adapted version of this: ps -u patrick | grep Math and you get something like 502 704 ?? 76:55.60 /Applications/Mathematica.app/Contents/ MacOS/Mathematica -psn_0_135201 502 55843 ?? 1:05.73 /Applications/Mathematica.app/Contents/ MacOS/MathKernel -mathlink -linkmode connect -linkprotocol SharedMemory -linkname bze_shm 502 55844 ?? 0:16.46 /Applications/Mathematica.app/ SystemFiles/Links/JLink/JLink.app/Contents/MacOS/JavaApplicationStub - init /tmp/m000001558431 -mathlink -linkmode connect -linkprotocol SharedMemory -linkname 4hs_shm 502 55846 ?? 0:11.44 /Applications/Mathematica.app/ SystemFiles/Converters/Binaries/MacOSX-x86-64/TIFF.exe -mathlink - linkmode connect -linkprotocol SharedMemory -linkname j54_shm you have to kill the MathKernel bei either using the process id: kill -9 55843 or by killall -9 MathKernel Hope this helps.
