authd: copy_rights: _server_authorize failed repeating in log every minute

Some program in the Mac has DRM/licensing issues and is throwing those messages. I'd suggest:

1. Copy & paste a couple of lines of the full messages here so we can read them complete and
2. Download, run and paste the report from EtreCheck so we can see what you have there and what may be amiss.

Provided, of course, that the OP is still interested in help in this year-old stale thread.

I'm also having this problem, and I agree this is not a useful answer.

That's the problem with discussion forums that reward points, you get everyone and his brother rushing to answer questions even when they don't know the answer.

One of the "functional" problems I have is that this late 2013 iMac 10.11.6 has become quite sluggish over the last few months. This is why I was looking at the console. An error message that has repeated every 5 seconds, going back months on end, sounds a lot like something that could cause I/O bottlenecks.

He's not asking for your opinion on what is or what is not a problem, so if you don't really know the answer nor can't point us in a good direction maybe and just maybe you are more useful stepping aside.

Now, sadly I accidentally clicked your answer as useful 😕

What functional problem do you have, if any? Log messages are not a problem in themselves.

This is not an answer ... he (we) are asking for an information about this message ... log messages do not pop up without any reason, otherwise we should sk Apple not to display these messages if they do not relate to 'functional problems'

That message might be related to the Flash Player updater. You can check that by uninstalling Flash.

Thanks for your feedback
