Skip this step if you have a soft-license code (like “XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX”)

If you have a physical USB license key (“Dongle”), and use it on macOS for the first time, check its compatibility:

  1. Start the just installed CodeMeter Control Center app
  2. Insert the physical USB license key
  3. If the serial number of the stick is visible in the left pane, your USB license key is compatible

If nothing appears, your license key is not compatible; please contact support

3. Download and Install Mangold INTERACT

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

What do I need before installing Mangold software on macOS?
You need either a physical Mangold USB license key (dongle) or a Mangold soft-license code in the format XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX. You also need the CodeMeter User Runtime installed before running any Mangold software on macOS.
What is the CodeMeter User Runtime and why do I need it?
The CodeMeter User Runtime from Wibu Systems is the license management software required by all Mangold products on macOS. It handles both USB dongle and soft-license authentication.
My USB license key is not recognized on macOS - what should I do?
Open the CodeMeter Control Center app and insert the USB key. If the serial number does not appear in the left panel, the key is not macOS-compatible. Contact Mangold Support to obtain a compatible key or a soft license code.
What should I do if Mangold INTERACT does not start after installation on macOS?
This usually means your license is not valid for the installed version. Contact the Mangold sales team at sales@mangold-international.com before upgrading to confirm whether your existing license covers the latest version.
