Intellij IDEA is not remembering the license/activation code or the opened projects after doing a restart

I have entered my Jetbrains license and already created a project three times now. I imported IDE settings which requires a restart and when the restart happens poof the license/activation key is gone as well as the project that had already been opened.

enter image description here

This is a strange behavior. I have installed and used the jetbrains products many dozens of times on different computers and had not seen this before. In fact DataSpell and Pycharm are working normally on this same computer.

I am on macOS Monterey 12.5.1

This problem has been identified as being due to using the "import Settings" feature. When I do that and restart Intellij then the activation code and in fact all past knowledge of my installation are gone. @CrazyCoder
