Starting from macOS Ventura, Full Disk Access should be enabled for Software Updater to be able to install, uninstall, and update applications.

Complete the following steps to enable Full Disk Access:

1. Open _System Settings_, click _Privacy & Security_, then click _Full Disk Access_.
2. On _Finder_, navigate to `[Macintosh HD]/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools`.\
   \
   Note that _Macintosh HD_ is the default name of the startup volume on the computer after unpacking from the box. Replace _Macintosh HD_ with the volume name on the computer.
3. Drag and drop _com.faronics.softwareupdaterd_ into the _Full Disk Access_ pane.
4. Enter the administrator password to authenticate.

Once authenticated, you should see _com.faronics_ added to the list of applications with Full Disk Access.

After Software Updater Service has been enabled, supported applications can be installed, updated or uninstalled from the [Applications ](applications)page.
