To whom it may concern,

 

I have tried to download Student hyperworks 13.0 for mac from the website.

 

The initial package [edu13.0_macosx64.zip] downloads fine; but after its completed and i try to un-pack it, it returns error message saying the file is broken and should be disposed of.

 

Can someone help?

    This could mean the file is not getting downloaded properly at all,

     

    Please check the checksums and compare with the values in the website to ensure the file was not corrupted on download

     

    In order to verify the integrity of the software executable after download please do a checksum following the procedure below

     

    1.      Download MD5 checksum freeware from the web (please note we are not responsible for any effects of external software)

     

    2.      Double click / run the Winmd5 checksum executable

     

     

    3.      Select the executable by clicking on the browse button or drag and drop the file into the window

     

     

     

    4.      Download the original md5 checksum value from the HyperWorks website for the version in question at the link below

    5.      Paste the original value of the md5 checksum in the gui tool and click on verify

    I could get around the issue by changing settings on my mac. 'System Preferences->Security & Privacy ->Allow apps downloaded from:' and choose anywhere as the option.

     

    This allowed the installation. But unfortunately I missed the part where it says software is for 10.8 and below. I am running Yosemite so can't run the program after installation.
