   Applications folder.
   
3. Open SecureSlate Device Agent from Applications (or Spotlight).
4. If macOS shows an "Apple could not verify..." warning, follow the
   steps below, then continue.
5. Sign in with your SecureSlate account when prompted. The Agent icon

If macOS blocks the app on first launch

This can happen the first time you open the app. Approve it once:
