How to Install SecureCRT 8.1 License Key on a Mac

Installing SecureCRT 8.1 license key on a Mac can be a bit of a process, but it's relatively straightforward once you know the steps involved. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you through the installation.

Method 1: Installing from the PL2303_1.4.0.dmg File

The first method involves downloading and installing the PL2303_1.4.0.dmg file, which contains the driver for your Plugable USB to Serial adapter. To begin, restart your Mac and insert the adapter into a free USB port.

Once you've restarted, launch Safari and navigate to the download page for the PL2303 MacOSX10.6 dmg v1.4.0.zip file. Click on the 'PL2303 MacOSX10.6 dmg v1.4.0.zip' link to begin the download. Once the download is complete, open the file and follow the prompts to mount the image.

Next, double-click on the PL2303_1.4.0.dmg file to start the installation process. Follow the prompts to select a destination for the installer and click 'Continue' to move forward. You may be asked to enter your username and password at this point - simply enter them and click 'OK'.

Once the installer has completed, restart your Mac again. This is normal behavior, so don't worry if it seems like the installation process is taking longer than expected.

After restarting, launch Safari once more and navigate back to the download page for the PL2303 MacOSX10.6 dmg v1.4.0.zip file. Scroll down to the 'Mac' section and click on the 'PL2303 MacOSX10.6 dmg v1.4.0.zip' link again. This time, you should see a prompt to install the driver.

Click on the 'Continue Installation' button to begin the installation process. You'll be prompted to select a destination for the installer - choose the same drive you used earlier and click 'Continue' to move forward.

Once the installer has completed, launch the PL2303_1.4.0.dmg file once more to verify that the adapter is properly installed. Connect your device to the Mac and navigate to the 'About This Mac' section of System Preferences. Click on the 'USB' tab on the left-hand side and select the 'USB-Serial Controller D' option.

If everything has been installed correctly, you should see a list of connected devices under the 'USB' tab. You can also verify that the adapter is working by clicking on the Apple icon in the top-left corner of the screen and selecting 'About This Mac.' From there, navigate to the 'System Report' section and select the 'Hardware' option.

In the 'Hardware' section, you should see a list of devices connected to your Mac. Look for the Plugable USB to Serial adapter - it should be listed as a 'USB-Serial Controller D' device. If you don't see this device listed, it may indicate that there's an issue with the installation process.

In conclusion, installing SecureCRT 8.1 license key on a Mac involves downloading and installing the PL2303_1.4.0.dmg file, which contains the driver for your Plugable USB to Serial adapter. By following these steps, you should be able to successfully install the driver and begin using your device with SecureCRT.
