macOS arm64 .pkg Package #
For macOS arm64 (Apple Silicon M1/M2/M3) the installation is done by invoking the macOS package manager from the macOS GUI.
Licensing #
The recommended way to activate a license is to store the license key with the axpad –license.key invocation. Alternatively you may also create and edit /opt/axpad/license.key directly.
$ sudo axpad --license.key=e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855
