This is a new security feature Apple introduced in macOS 10.13 High Sierra that requires a user’s approval before loading third-party kernel extensions. It applies to all future versions of mac OS including 10.14 Mojave, 10.15 Catalina, and above.
Click OK to proceed, then go to your Mac System Preferences > Security & Privacy panel to Allow the System Extension so your Apogee product will work properly.
If you do not see this Allow button, it is programmed to disappear after 30 minutes. To get it to reappear, uninstall your Apogee software (requires you restart the computer), then reinstall. At the end of the reinstall but before restarting your computer for the 2nd time, check Security & Privacy for this Allow button will reappear.
If the Allow button does not appear even after a full uninstall and re-install of the software, here are some advanced troubleshooting techniques to find out where things are getting stuck:
