This section shows how to set up ODBC connectivity and configure DSNs on macOS.

Minimum macOS Version

The CData ODBC Driver for Zoho CRM driver requires macOS Sierra (10.12) or above.

Licensing the Driver

In a terminal, run the following commands to license the driver. To activate a trial, omit the <key> input.

cd "/Applications/CData ODBC Driver for Zoho CRM/bin"
sudo ./install-license.sh <key>

You'll be prompted for a name and password. These refer to your name and your machine's password.

Authenticating to Zoho CRM

The driver is already registered with Zoho CRM as an OAuth application. As such, it will, by default, automatically use its Embedded Credentials to connect.

If you would prefer to use your own custom OAuth app, see Custom Credentials.

The Zoho CRM driver defaults UseServerSideFiltering to True for higher performance, though it may return incorrect results.

Uninstalling the Driver

The easiest way to uninstall the driver is to open a terminal and run the included uninstall.sh script, located in the installation directory. For example:

cd "/Applications/CData ODBC Driver for Zoho CRM"
sudo ./uninstall.sh

Note: The script needs to be run from the installation directory.
