FHM6 and macOS Catalina
Apparently, with Catalina Apple added a not-so-helpful new feature:

"All software built for the Mac after June 1 of this year must be uploaded to Apple’s servers, scanned by an automated system, and approved. If it isn’t approved by Apple, the Gatekeeper feature of macOS won’t let it run—at least, not by default. Instead, it’ll display an alert that Apple can’t scan the app for malware and tell you to contact the developer for more information."

We didn't go through their system yet, so you may get an error message when you try to launch the Mac version of FHM6 (this isn't the 32-bit/64-bit issue that's gotten a lot more attention). But there's a way around it:

"The good news is, Apple will let you run this software if you really want to—you just need to know how to bypass Gatekeeper and open the software. To launch an app that hasn’t been approved, control-click on it and choose Open. You’ll see a similar alert about malware and contacting the developer, but now there will also be an option to just go ahead an open the app. Once you’ve opened an app once using this method, it’ll never bother you about that app again."
