Why am I prompted for a password when I install Sequencher on my Macintosh?

The prompt is from your Macintosh operating system. When you install an application on OSX the operating system insures that you have administrative privileges by requiring a password.

My Windows version of Sequencher doesn't recognize the projects that I created on my Mac version. What do I do?

Windows applications are more dependent on extensions than Mac applications. In order to open Sequencher projects that originate on a Mac, add a .SPF extension to the file if one does not already exist.
