A few options to try if installation is interrupted with "install requires admin rights".

Option 1: Temporary allocation of administrator privileges

System Preferences — Users & Groups — Unlock to make changes — Select „Allow user to administer this Computer“
Normal installation via „Install C-Pen Core.app“
Unset administrator privileges

Option 2: Try to install in Safe Mode

Reboot the MAC computer into Safe Mode (normally by pressing the Shift key while booting).
Locate the recently C-Pen Core dmg file, mount it if not already done, and then try to run the installer.

Option 3: Update installscript

Open the C-Pen Core dmg file
Drag and drop Install C-Pen Core app to the desktop
Right click on Install C-Pen Core.app and select Show Package Contents
Open Resources folder
Open installscript.plist
Locate the entry Root --> Require admin
Change value from TRUE to FALSE
Close and Save installscript.plist
Finally double click on Install C-Pen Core.app on the desktop and run it
