is there anyway to remedy this or is the software package too old for mavericks?

I'm not sure if 4.6 is supported in 10.9, however the issue with 10.9 preventing the program from running can be resolved:

Go to System Preferences > Security and Privacy

Unlock the window by clicking on the Lock Icon (bottom-left) and entering your Username/Password

In the section labeled "Allow apps downloaded from:", select "Anywhere"

This allows any apps that you download to be installed and run. It's possible that Max 4.6 was never signed in the way that 10.9 requires, and thus is prevented from running if you don't have this option checked.

Or you can just right-click on the App, select "Open" and you will be prompted to allow it to run. Once you do that once, future runs won't require permission.

That way you don't have to disable gatekeeper
