FACT for Mac - START HERE  (build 45)
For Apple Silicon and Intel Macs with macOS 11 or later. Microsoft Excel is not needed.

1. Double-click the FACT for Mac zip (in Downloads), then double-click FACT.
   First time only: if macOS says it cannot check the app, select Done. Open System Settings >
   Privacy & Security (macOS 11 and 12: System Preferences > Security & Privacy), scroll down, select
   "Open Anyway" for FACT (Mac password or Touch ID) and open FACT again.
2. FACT asks "Move FACT to the Applications folder?": select "Move to Applications". FACT opens again
   from Applications. If macOS asks whether FACT may use the Downloads or Documents folder: Allow.
   FACT keeps its data in Documents > FACT (FACT DATA, FEED STORE, BACKUP).
3. The License Key screen shows the Machine Code of this Mac. Select COPY and send it to Dr. Waseem
   (WhatsApp). Paste the License Key you receive and select ACTIVATE.
4. Log in with the user name and password you received, then change the password (CHANGE PASSWORD?).
5. Home > DESKTOP SHORTCUT puts FACT on the Desktop. To keep FACT in the Dock: right-click its Dock
   icon > Options > Keep in Dock. Always close FACT with Logout.
6. The same data on the Mac and the iPhone (FACT for iPhone) or a Windows computer: Home > FACT FOLDER
   > CHOOSE A FOLDER. Choose (or make with New Folder) iCloud Drive > FACT and select COPY MY DATA HERE
   (once, on the device that has your data; on the other devices: USE THIS FOLDER). On the iPhone or
   the Windows computer choose the same folder: FACT > Home > FACT FOLDER. All of them then work on the
   same data, FEED STORE and BACKUP.
   If macOS asks whether FACT may use iCloud Drive: Allow.

Updating FACT: close FACT with Logout, open the new zip and move FACT to Applications again (the older
FACT goes to the Trash). Your data and your license stay as they are. The License Key screen shows the
build of FACT.

Using one FACT FOLDER on several devices: update FACT on all of them to this build. Each plant keeps its
own settings, profile and currency since build 45; an older FACT on another device would lose them.
