On the Mac, after entering the authorization code, I get an error message that says "Unable to write the Zaxwerks security file. You must be logged in as an Admin to enter the authorization code".

If you have After Effects running, first quit out of After Effects.

Then make sure you set your "Ownership & Permissions" setting to "Read & Write". To do this, go to the folder that contains the Zaxwerks software, then use the "File > Get Info" command.

Next check your "Root Hard Drive > Library > Preferences" and make sure the "Read & Write" permissions are allowed here as well. Afterwards, go to your "User > Library > Preferences" file, and be sure you have "Read & Write" permissions.

Reboot your computer, and launch After Effects. Apply the plug-in and enter the authorization code. If you set the "Read & Write" permissions correctly, you should haven't any further issues after the code has been accepted.
