Got it - I was able to fix the issue. Here's how it broke down:
- I unpacked the depot on my mac. I am working from home (so not on corp network) and not an IT admin so I cannot share the entire depot with other users.
- The instructions allowed me to install the depot (with a workaround for MacOs) but lack clear instructions on how to get other users set up.
- I copied the dmg file onto our corp Google Drive so that my coworker could download it (ie not the entire depot - it wasn't clear that copying everything would have worked).
- My coworker was able to unpack but needed a license key. I did not know 1 file would work for both him and I.
- I shared the file to see what happens and it worked, but kinda by doing a 'monkey test'
So the instructions were lacking a bit and the use case was not really captured imo (WFH/not on corp network to share unpacked depot).
Anyway, seems to be up and running now! Thx
