Mac OS X Mountain Lion defaults to preventing applications from unidentified developers or sources from being launched. You’ll discover the message in OS X 10.8 when you try to launch a Mac app that didn’t come from a verified source or from the Mac App Store. You will get an alert similar to this “KISS can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer”.

This security feature is called GateKeeper and here is a link from Apple Support on how to fix the situation so you can run unverified apps on OS X 10.8.
