I've been trying to open B3D v.7 on my Mac and keep getting a message about the app being 'quarantined' and gives me a Terminal line command to try and get it out of quarantine. However, when I run that line command in Terminal, I'm then told that permission has been denied. This is the subscription version of B3D, by the way.

I do have a demo version (v.6) that works just fine. Is there ANY way to get a license key for it? I would really rather be able to open v.7 though. Thanks for your help!

Unless it is the latest Mac version which seems to be breaking everything.

I'm currently running my mid-2010 Mac Pro tower on High Sierra (10.13.6) which I understand meets the system requirements for B3D v.7, yet I get that message about the app being quarantined.

If you follow the other thread, Blacksmith3D Version 8 is now free.  The common complaint about version 7 is the servers are no longer active.
