But as far as their support apparently you can contact then directly. The newest version is 4.0 https://www.bluesquirrel.com/products/cbmac/

Reinstalling does nothing to help open application. Never had this problem before. I suspect El Capitan may be the problem, but they have not acknowledged it, even though I asked.

And, if a third party app is not working with an OS upgrade/update, then it is the developer's responsibility to update their app to make it compatible with the OS. I'd suggest informing the developer that it is not compatible and ask for a timeline - Apple makes any beta updates available to developers in advance so they can test their software with it. Some developers are slower than others.
And, another thought: your app could fall into the category of installs which are now no longer easily available due to the new SIP feature:
