Installation

Getting Certum Draft up and running takes just a few minutes.

System Requirements

• macOS 27 or later
• A Mac with Apple silicon (Intel Macs are no longer supported)
• About 100 MB of disk space
• An active internet connection for licence activation and updates

Download

Certum Draft is in early access for a small number of firms, and the installer is sent by request rather than downloaded from the site.

1. Go to certum.serkowski.net and click Request access, or email [email protected]
2. Say a little about your firm
3. You’ll receive a link to a .dmg file

Install the App

1. Open the downloaded CertumDraft-x.x.x.dmg file
2. Drag Certum Draft to your Applications folder
3. Eject the disk image (right-click → Eject)
4. Open Certum Draft from your Applications folder

Tip

If you see a message saying the app is from an unidentified developer, right-click the app and select Open, then click Open in the dialog that appears.

First Launch

When you first open Certum Draft, you’ll go through a short setup process:

1. Terms of Use — Review and accept the terms
2. Licence Activation — Import your firm’s Setup Pack, or enter your licence key
3. Document Engine Setup — Automatic one-time check (the engine is built into the app — there’s nothing to install)
4. Quick Setup — Configure your folder locations

This only happens once. After setup, the app opens directly to the dashboard.

Updates

Certum Draft checks for updates automatically and notifies you when a new version is available. You can also check manually from Certum Draft → Check for Updates. A Mac still on macOS 26 keeps 0.9.373 and is not offered a later version until it upgrades.

What’s Next?

Once installed, continue to First Time Setup to configure Certum Draft for your firm.
