Dynamic Link AE 18.0 to ME 15.0

Hi there,

Please can someone help? I've read through all the threads on here about ME 'Connecting to Dynamic Link Server' issues and I don't think I can see issues the same bespoke issues I am. As per the Subject heading, I'm using the latest version for both (2021: AE 18.0 and ME 15.0) and I also tried installing (2020: AE 17.7 and ME 14.9) for each with no joy either.

Macbook Pro '15 2019

Processor: 2.4 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9

Memory: 32 GB 2400 MHz DDR4

Graphics: Radeon Pro Vega 20 4 GB

Anything anyone can do to help me would me MASSIVELY appreciated. Thank you ever so much in advance.

Gary
