AUSEnabler For Mac

macOS relies on Software Update Servers to make sure your machine runs on the latest version of the operating system and ensures the update process as seamless as possible.

However, if you have deployed Sierra on a machine that is not officially supported by the OS, you will not be able to access the updates. This is where AUSEnabler comes in handy, by allowing you to switch the update catalog used by the system.

Upon launch, AUSEnabler automatically detects the update catalog used by the system and displays the respective link in its main window. At this point, you can easily clear the subscription, by pressing the “Reset Catalogs” button.

Nevertheless, that means that if you use the macOS Sierra installation on an unsupported machine, the updates will be completely silenced. Even though you might want to preserve the current state of the device, you might also miss critical security patches.

On the other hand, if your press the “Switch Catalogs” button in the AUSEnabler’s main window, you will be directed to a new panel where you can opt for the Sierra seed or production branch.

Again, AUSEnabler will provide the link to the catalog you are currently subscribed to, and also advises for going for the production branch if you are not an advanced user.

Keep in mind that AUSEnabler requires an active internet connection to be able to get the latest update catalog URLs.

Bottom line, AUSEnabler is an easy to use graphical user interface that can be used to change your update catalog subscription to the latest Sierra seed or production branches.

AUSEnabler eliminates the need to go through the command line, can provide details about the current subscription and can download the latest AUS links on its own.
