On MacOS 11 (Big Sur), installing ACE for the first time requires authorizing it with the OS, and on M1 chip-based Macs, that setup has a few extra steps. The in-app installer provides an overview and will get you up and running in just a few minutes.

Fortunately, it’s a quick process, and it’s only required once. After you’ve authorized ACE for any app, you’ll be able to update and install our other apps with no further settings adjustments required.
Thanks for that.

It's not clear to me, though, whether that first installation of ACE sets things up for that version of ACE only, or for future versions of ACE as well.

I suppose we'll find out either the hard or easy way.
