Introduction
This guide walks you through how to install and deploy Read&Write on Mac devices. It’s designed for IT administrators who want to roll out the software to individual or multiple users.
You can choose to deploy Read&Write using a device management tool (recommended for larger organisations) or install it manually on each machine. Once installed, users simply sign in to start using the software.
Step 1: Download the Installer
Download the latest version of Read&Write for Mac using the link provided.
- A .pkg file is available, which is ideal for deployment.
Step 2: Install Read&Write
Choose the method that works best for your setup:
🔹 Option 1: Deploy to Multiple Devices (Recommended)
- Download the Read&Write Deployment Package (.pkg)
- Use your preferred deployment tool (e.g. MDM) to push the app to all target Macs
🔹 Option 2: Install Manually
- Download the installer
- Install Read&Write on each Mac individually
Step 3: User Sign-In
Once installed:
- The user opens Read&Write from the Applications folder
- They will be prompted to sign in using one of the following:
- Microsoft
- OKTA
💡 If you want to limit users to a specific login method, refer to your login configuration settings.
⚠️ Important: Email Domain Requirement
Users must sign in with an email address that matches the domain used when your organisation purchased the software.
If you're unsure about your domain setup, contact support:

💡 Best Practice for Shared Devices
If users don’t always use the same Mac:
- Encourage them to log out of Read&Write after each session
This helps avoid account issues and ensures a smooth experience for the next user.
