FCPX 11 libraries reported as outdated on second Mac

I've been using fcpx 11 on my work computer - fully updated fcpx, updated sequoia 15.2 - I brought my drive home to work on my personal Mac (16GB, M1, fcpx 11, Sequoia 15) and FCPX will not open the libraries.

I get the notification that they have been created on a newer version of fcpx.

Anyone else have this issue / know of a potential solve?

XMLs made on my work computer will not upload into a library I made on my home computer either. For what it's worth, I'm operating on two different fcpx subscriptions.

Are you absolutely sure that the version of FCP is the same? This message suggests otherwise.

Click Final Cut Pro->About Final Cut Pro to confirm.

I may be wrong, but I am guessing you just need to update FCP in the home computer.

Ah, perhaps it was an app store issue? In the app store it said I was running version 11 with no updates. I restarted my computer and opened the app store again and low and behold - I had an update waiting.

Thanks!
