Robert Patterson:
Going on about 12 years, I still occasionally fire up Finale 2.6.3. I recently discovered it still runs in Classic.
Yeah, but it doesn't *print out* (from any driver) under System 9. For that reason, I have been systematically updating all my 2.6.3 files as orders come in for them. The increasingly transparent updating algorithm in recent versions of Finale makes that much less painful than it would have been even three years ago.
This will be the 4th computer (in sequence) on which I've run 2.6.3. I'm wondering if 2.6.3 had had a reg scheme like that in Fin04, would I have been able to register it? Would MM (now into about as many ownership changes as I've had computer changes) still have the willingness or expertise to do so? In some other cases of software I've owned equally old, the company isn't even around to authorize it any more.
Precisely because olim-Coda has made updating files from one version to the next so painless, I have not saved any obsolete version of Finale since 3.7. I do not expect to have FinMac 2K4 on my machine for more than 2 years, tops.
