Info

For MacOS it’s way easier to use the license config file (license.conf) or environment variable file (variables.env) since environment variables might work differently depending on the OS version

Setting the variable in ~/.bash-profile, ~/.zsh, etc. might not work since the software starts as GUI application. To make everything as easy as possible it is recommended to use the environment file.
