I've been using Finale v27.2 to share choral practice files with my local community chorus, using the new "Share" feature. It gives me a link to give to the chorus members to access the SmartMusic file for each piece. It's been working well for a couple weeks, but suddenly this morning all of the links would come back with "Let's get outta here! You are not authorized to access this resource." I was able to generate new links for each piece with the content manager, and those are now working, but this is clearly something that I would prefer not to have to do all the time.
Anyone know what would cause this problem (and how to avoid it happening again)?
SmartMusic shared links are suddenly all broken

That's good advice in general, though in Finale's case I don't know how often it's true. They do fix some things, but some very serious bugs have languished for many years, and new versions often bring new problems along with new features. Those that update in the hopes that a bug that's troubling them will have been fixed are apt to be disappointed, I'm afraid. It's worth checking the release notes, I guess.
