It seems as though your Stata software is reading a license file from a previous installation or the wrong information was entered during initialization. You will need to remove the STATA.LIC file from the Stata directory to reinitialize your program with the correct information.
For step-by-step directions on deleting this file and reinitializing your Stata license, please see our online guide.
If you need further assistance, please contact us at [email protected].

You have installed Stata 19 but are using Stata 18 license information. You will need to obtain the updated Stata 19 license information.
Or you may have installed the wrong package. If this is the case, you will need to install your older package (Stata 18) and initialize that program with your current license information.
If you need further assistance, please contact us at [email protected].
The reason that Stata cannot take the codes is that it does not have the correct permissions. This usually occurs when the owner permissions are currently set to another user. If this is the case you can either log into the Mac under the administrator account or change the group so that your current account can make changes.
To change the permissions you should follow the instruction in the FAQ Changing Stata folder permissions to update Stata.
For a few alternative methods to resolve this issue, refer to Apple support's advice.
This error message usually occurs when the account you're installing from does not have the correct permissions. Please ensure you are attempting your installation on the administrative account of the machine.
Once you have confirmed you have the correct permissions, right click on the Stata executable in the Stata install directory, and select Run as Administrator. Then, you can enter your authorization information, etc., and Stata can create the Stata.lic file in this folder.
