When installing Digital Watchdog software to a Macintosh, the computer may not recognize the software as a trusted application. When this occurs, the Macintosh computer automatically blocks the installation of applications, categorizing them as third-party software.
This article will outline how to temporarily disable the security lock to allow the installation of Digital Watchdog applications to a Macintosh computer.
When initially attempting to run installation tools for unrecognized applications, Macintosh computers will typically block the installation software from running.
To open blocked software on Macintosh:
Note: If you do not know where to open the System Preferences menu on your Macintosh, open the Finder application and search for System Preferences.
Select the General tab.
Click on the Open Anyway button to allow the one-time installation of the application.
Enter your computer’s login to disable this setting.
To re-enable this setting, click the Lock icon again and re-enter your computer’s login.
