This article describes how to download and Install PGP Desktop for Macintosh.
For purchases prior to July 6, 2009, your download link is included in your order conformation email. Use the directions below to download PGP Desktop.
When you purchased PGP Desktop, you should have received an order confirmation email from PGP Corporation. The order confirmation email contains a link (URL), which allows you to download your copy of PGP Desktop.
Note: Often the link in the order confirmation email is large enough to wrap over several lines. This may cause the link to be only partially hyper-linked. As a result, when the link is clicked, a download link error may occur. To avoid this, copy/paste the entire link into your Web browser's address bar. In order to copy the whole link, you may need to copy the link in several parts. |
