Not possible to paste [product name] .ex4 file into Mql4/Expert folder in MT4 on a macbook

 

Hi. I have bought the [product name] licence and I am unable to paste the .ex4 file in the experts folder In MT4. It just doesn't let me paste the file in it.  Any suggestions?

I have a Macbook Sonoma, don't know if it has anything to do with this.

Thanks

You are not supposed to "paste" anything. You are supposed to download and activate the Market product from within MetaTrader, so that it automatically puts it into the "Market" folder under "Expert Advisors".

EDIT: Or is this perhaps not a Market product but an EA acquired via a 3rd party?

 I haven't bought the licence on MT but on a website, so i downloaded it and I'm following the instructions to install, see screenshot below.
