Unable to run the CCDC maintenance tool on macOS 15

Solution

For installations carried out with the 2024.2 and earlier versions of the CSD installer, you will get the error message ‘The application “ccdc-maintenance-tool.app” can’t be opened' when attempting to run the CCDC Maintenance Tool on macOS 15. This is due to macOS 15 introducing new requirements to allow applications to run.

We have resolved these issues, but as upgrades are not possible with existing installs you will need to re-install again using the CSD Portfolio installer to obtain the latest version that will allow you to apply future updates normally.
