The Software Fails to LaunchIf the software can start properly, but crashes during operation, please first ensure that you are using the latest version of the Logic 2 software. If that doesn't solve the crashes, please feel free to reach out to us from within the app (if the app allows). We will follow up with your request via email.
When contacting us from within the app, we will be interested in the following information.
