Robert Patterson has brought this up many times, and I can attest to the fact that it does indeed work:
Run an older version of Mac OS on a virtual machine using Parallels (my app of choice) or Fusion. I have a VM with OS X Mountain Lion and I run a couple of older versions of Finale for those times when I absolutely need it. Granted you have to purchase another commercial application, but the viable option is there. *************************** J D Thomas ThomaStudios > On Nov 6, 2016, at 1:28 PM, Eric Dannewitz <ericd...@jazz-sax.com> wrote: > > You might be able to use migration assistant to migrate over applications and > users from an older Mac, but I’d say you should probably upgrade to Finale > 2014.5 at least. > > >> On Nov 6, 2016, at 1:22 PM, Darcy James Argue <djar...@icloud.com> wrote: >> >> Hi Mike, >> >> All new Macs come with macOS Sierra and it’s not possible to install an >> older OS.
