Serial Install the New for Mac: Why You Shouldn't Uninstall it

When it comes to installing new software on your Mac, it's essential to understand what each program does and how it affects your system. One such program is the Serial Install the New for Mac, which has been a topic of discussion among Mac users recently.

Despite being neither signed nor notarized, this program remains installable, but its ability to do so is likely to be removed in the next macOS upgrade. In fact, existing unsigned extensions are expected to become inoperative as well, making it more crucial than ever to leave the Serial Install the New for Mac installed.

I had no issues installing the program on my Mojave system, and I've found that it's still compatible with Catalina. The program is 64-bit, which is impressive considering it predates the age of the Mac by about a decade. According to System Information > Extensions, the version is 0.6, last modified on August 12th, 2009.

The key details to note are:

* Version: 0.6

* Last Modified: August 12th, 2009, 1:35 PM

* Bundle ID: KeyspanUSAdriver

* Notarized: Unknown

* Loaded: Yes

* Get Info String: 0.6 Copyright © 2000-2009 Keyspan Obtained from: Not Signed Kind: Intel Architectures: i386, x86_64 64-Bit (Intel): Yes Location: /Library/Extensions/KeyspanUSAdriver.kext Kext Version: 0.6 Load Address: 0x8446743521822773000 Loadable: No Signature Validation Errors: Not Signed Dependencies: Satisfied Signed by: Not Signed

As there is no other driver for the adapter, I strongly recommend against uninstalling the existing one. In fact, it's likely that uninstalling it would render your Keyspan adapter unusable.

If you're wondering why this program still works despite being unsigned, it's because Tripp-Lite indicates support for Mojave but not Catalina. The other adapters are not used and can be removed if you wish, but the first one is essential and remains operative.

In conclusion, while the Serial Install the New for Mac may not be signed or notarized, it's still a vital program that should remain installed on your system. Uninstalling it could result in issues with your Keyspan adapter, so it's best to leave it as is.
