[Solved] Can't open OpenOffice - it's not from the App store

Post by Fatgnat »

On my old Macbook Pro running OS 10.11.6. Try to open the program (downloaded last October) and it refuses to open because it doesn't come from the Ap store. Went to settings and told it to open it anyway but it still refuses--ignores my attempts to change to open software from anywhere. Restarted the Mac and tried again--same results. Any ideas???

Solved. Restarted the Mac a second time, changed the settings to allow opening aps from anywhere and it worked. :D
