Make sure CodeMeter is installed. Open the CodeMeter Control Center (e.g. via search: "CodeMeter"). If this entry does not show up, you can install the CodeMeter runtime by running the Creator setup again, or you can download the latest version of the CodeMeter runtime for Mac from
http://www.wibu.com/en/downloads-user-software.html.Select the license and click "Activate License".

Once the license is successfully activated, you should get the following screen. Restart the Creator.

When the activation still fails, select the button Send Activation File on the first page of the Activation wizard. This will generate a license request file that you can send to
license@metaio.com. You will receive an update file that you have to drag and drop into the license panel of CodeMeter Control Center. This will activate your license and you can start the Creator.
