And sure as hell, when I fired off MC as "sudo mediacenter21" it same up and ran fine. So you are right. The question is how I reverse this. Should I uninstall and re-install without the sudo?
Thanks

Don't run as sudo.
In a terminal as the user that's running MC in your home directory, fix your MC data files ownership:
chown -R whateveruseryouare:whatevergroupyouare .jriver
Then reinstall the license if necessary.
If you can't access your audio devices, add your user to the audio group then log out and back in again.

I think I follow what you're saying but I'm having difficulty in the execution. It's clear that somewhere along the line, the license got installed under the superuser. I have made no new accounts on the Pi so i'm running as the user "pi". From what I can gather, the group is also "pi". So, from my home directory, I entered "chown -R pi:pi .jriver"
It doesn't seem to make a difference. I re-installed the license, and it says "license installed" but when I try to run MC, I get "Trial is over". WHen I run sudo MC, then it runs.
I am definitely missing something, and I didn't run into this on the Pi 2. I appreciate your patience, I know I'm close. What's the best route, completely start over installing from scratch?

After I reinstall the license, I get one of two results. If I run MC as Pi, I still get a message stating that my trial has expired. If I run sudo mediacenter21, I am now running under a trial license. In other words, the license install appears to have no effect. Any idea?

Are you installing a MC21 linux license?
When you install the license you aren't doing a sudo are you?
You can simply install it from the GUI when it popups saying the trial is expired.
Other possibilities are that your ownership for the pi user home are screwed up or the filesystem is read-only or MC's settings files are corrupted.

I was installing a MC21 Master license. I was not using sudo.
You know what finally worked? Starting fresh with a new SD card. I don't know if it was the permissions or what, but bought a new card, started from scratch, and everything's working.
