Hi Bill Just in with client, which is why quick replies (as just wanting for some software to install and quickly checking email between installs). After you double click the DMG and then it opens a Finder window. Before you click anything else, that is where you need to hold down the Option key. eg. You double click the DMG file. It opens to a “white disk looking icon” on the desktop. Then before you click whatever icon or installer is there, you hold down the Control key before you click on it. You’ll then get a pop up window that you choose “Open” from. the list. It will ask if you want to approve the Application, and you then choose “open”. It should then open as normal.
If you want to keep it all the time, and it’s not an installer, but an icon of the Application itself, you drag it into your Applications folder. Then go to Applications folder and before doubling clicking it, you then use the Control key method. Then the same steps to open it. It should then open after that.
