Capture One 21 won't open. I get the following message:

“Capture One 21” can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.

Your security preferences allow installation of only apps from the App Store and identified developers.

Firefox downloaded this file on July 23, 2021 from www.captureone.com.

Will Capture One ever be an "identified developer"?

I am running High Sierra 10.13.6. There does not seem to be an option to allow programs for unidentified developers to run in system preferences.

  From the Apple web site:

  To override your security settings and open the app anyway follow these steps:

  1. In the Finder on your Mac, locate the app you want to open.

     Don’t use Launchpad to do this. Launchpad doesn’t allow you to access the shortcut menu.

  2. Control-click the app icon, then choose Open from the shortcut menu.

  3. Click Open.

     The app is saved as an exception to your security settings, and you can open it in the future by double-clicking it just as you can any registered app.

  Note: You can also grant an exception for a blocked app by clicking the Open Anyway button in the General pane of Security & Privacy preferences. This button is available for about an hour after you try to open the app.

  To change these preferences on your Mac, choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, click Security & Privacy, then click General.

  Yes, I realize there is a workaround.

  For a company of CaptureOne's size, there should not need to be a workaround.

  I'm fine with doing a manual open from small independent developers; but any company of CaptureOne's size should absolutely register their developer ID, given the amount of malware floating around.
