To all of you having problems with activating PreSonus Sphere Studio One 5 on your macOS Catalina computers.

In my case I had to completely reinstall the whole operating system! After a clean new macOS Catalina installation I finally could activate Persons Sphere without any problems!

I can only guess what caused that problem and am very disappointed that there was no easier solution.

Hope that helps.

Has anyone installed Sphere without experiencing problems? No way am I up for reinstalling OSX!

I have this problem, too.  Reinstalling the OS does sound a little extreme.  Has PreSonus acknowledged this problem?
