Roxio has posted notes about Toast 5.2 problems on a Toast tips page, including an explanation for the sudden-quits issue, which apparently is caused by a silent anti-piracy mechanism:
http://www.roxio.com/en/support/roxio_support/toast/toast_top_support_notes.html#TIPS
"Toast updaters check for a valid copy of Toast 5 Titanium, install the updated application, then rename the enclosing folder to the new version number, and leave the previous versions of Toast Titanium intact within the updated folder. The valid serial number from the original application is inherited by the update - no reserialization is necessary. However if you suspect you are having a CD-Key related issue, try the following:
a. Control Click (hold the control button while clicking) on the Toast application, and select the option "Show Package Contents.
b. Open the Contents folder, then the MacOS folder.
c. Delete the rox.dat file.
d. Close all Windows and Launch Toast.
e. Enter your CD-Key and Toast should launch fine.
Note: You must have your valid CD-Key available before deleting the rox.dat file as you will be required to enter it the next time you launch the Toast application . Enter your CD-Key as it appears on the materials that came with your original product packaging. Some CD-Keys begin with 2 characters, while others begin with 4 characters. Both of these formats work with Toast 5.2.
