I’ve downloaded the elements trial. It has unzipped in my downloads folder, but I am unable to drag it into the applications folder. Does it not need to run from the applications folder?

Do you have it pen whilst you are trying to drag it?

You should be able to just drag the icon from the “Downloads” Folder to the “Applications”.

What error message does macOS give you?
