Troubleshooting & FAQ
Windows Smartscreen pops up.
This should not happen anymore, since we have signed the software with an officially recogognized certificate. If it happens still, the Workaround is simple:
Solution: Click on: “More Info”, and then “Run anyway”
More info on disabling Smartscreen.
MAC Gatekeeper prevents running the App
Despite gold extra being a certified software developer, this happens because Apple has decided to not accept any Software Certificates other from Apple Inc itself. There is however, an easy workaround solution.
- Solution: Ctrl+click or right click on the app and select Open from the contextual menu.
- This time you'll see the popup below instead of a message saying the app can't be opened at all.
3. Click Open if you're sure that the app is from a trusted source. The app will open and you'll be able to use it normally now. You may get one more popup from time to time verifying that you're sure, but you can confirm them as well, as needed.
