FIXED by running the updated command to wipe the new .ffuserdata file location:
mv -vf ~/Library/Application\ Support/.ffuserdata ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.FinalCutTrial/Data/Library/Application\ Support/.ffuserdata ~/.Trash

this is the command in the gist

People who land here from google search don't know what the Gist is and they just scroll the comments looking for a SOLVED or FIXED reply. Either way, you're a hero for posting this. Thx.

ah gotcha 👍 and yeah np!

Any idea how to make this work on FCP 12. I think the app is now only available as a creator suite and in app store rather than a standalone installer file

No, FCP is still available as a stand alone app. You need to update your system to the new one: Tahoe.
