Unfortunately, the information here doesn't seem to be entirely correct, because MAPublisher 10.9.0 is not compatible with Illustrator 25.4.1 (64-bit). A message is displayed that the MAPublisher is not compatible and the license (floating) cannot be checked out.
Hi Tinner,
Sorry to hear you are having issues getting your floating license checked out. This should not be related to compatibility as we are compatible with version 25.4.1 (Illustrator 2021), and as such there is likely something else going on. We are going to convert this post to a support ticket so that we can get some further information and get this resolved for you!
