Error Code 16 installing DVD for Mac OSX 

Edition: 1 Aug 2018

Since our Wordshark and Numbershark 5 DVDs ceased production during OSX 10.13,  Apple have further upgraded and altered their OSX operating system. As a result, customers upgrading OSX may experience an “Error Code 16” when attempting to install or run either Wordshark 5 DVDs or Numbershark 5 DVDs.

We have produced a fix for this issue for both programs, available as free downloads: 

Please start with Apple/System Preferences/Security, and check that you are ALLOWING applications that are “From Mac App Store and identified developers” (“everyone” will also work).  Then click to download the patch for your program and read the instructions below whilst the file downloads. Download time will vary depending on your broadband connection speed.
