Incorrect version of Licensing client fix?

,

Hey yall! I’m new to Unity and for the past 2 days have been trying to get it to work. I made a student account and installed Unity Hub for my computer (Silicon Mac). I then installed the editor along with VS code and Mac Build support. I tried to launch the editor and it wanted me to accept some terms which I of course would but whenever I tried to accept them the editor (not the hub, the hub was fine) stopped reponding. I tried a couple things: deleting library files, unistalling hub and editor, different version, no vs code or Mac Build support but it still wouldn’t work. I finally realized I shouldn’t just be deleting all the config and stuff and maybe actually look at what the logs… It looks to me like my licensing client is the wrong version (1.17.2). Here is the Editor-prev log and if you want the Licensing client log ill private send it cause its kinda long and I don’t wanna have to go through it to get rid of whatever personal info might be in there… idk if there even is any:
