Experiencing issues with your Logitech G Hub or Options+ software? You’re not alone. A recent certificate expiration caused functionality problems for many users, but a fix is available.This guide will walk you through the necessary steps to get your devices back up adn running, ensuring a smooth experience with your gaming peripherals.
Understanding the Recent Logitech Software Issue
Recently, an expired certificate disrupted the operation of Logitech’s G Hub and Options+ applications. This wasn’t a security breach, but rather an issue with the digital certificate that verifies dialog within the software.Consequently, the applications were unable to launch, even with offline installations. As of January 11, 2026, Logitech has released patches to address this, but the process requires a bit of manual intervention, particularly for macOS users.
The certificate secures vital inter-process communication, and its expiration halted software startup, impacting even those using offline installations of Options+ for large-scale deployments. Fortunately,Logitech acted swiftly to provide a solution.
Did You Know? Digital certificates are essential for verifying the authenticity and integrity of software, ensuring secure communication between different parts of an application.
macOS Specific instructions
The fix is currently available for macOS 26 Tahoe, macOS 15 Sequoia, macOS 14 Sonoma, and macOS 13 Ventura. Logitech is actively developing a separate solution for macOS 12 Monterey, with further details expected through thier support channels. If you’re on macOS 13 or later, you’ll need to apply the patch manually, as automatic updates are currently disabled due to the certificate issue.
Here’s a breakdown of the steps, depending on your situation:
- For all macOS versions (except Monterey): Download the updated installer using a private or incognito browser window, or after clearing your browser’s cache.
- Installation: Run the installer and grant administrator access.
- Initial Launch: Exit the installation process as soon as you receive the “software already exists” message.
- Manual Start: Launch G Hub or Options+ manually.
I’ve found that clearing the cache is frequently enough the most overlooked, yet crucial, step.It ensures you’re getting a fresh copy of the installer and avoids potential conflicts with older files.
