We’d like to update you on the development and certification process regarding macOS Catalina (10.15) for Steinberg products. macOS Catalina has been released in October 2019, replacing macOS Mojave (10.14).
Please keep in mind that other software you intend to use needs to be officially compatible with macOS Catalina as well!
For additional information on this topic, we recommend this article by cdm.
Important:
- Please download the latest eLicenser Control Center version from the eLicenser page and make sure to install it prior to other Steinberg applications!
Some of the compatible products still contain a 32-bit version of the eLicenser Control which is incompatible with the 64-bit only macOS Catalina. - Please make sure that you always use the latest updates available!
- For details on current products, please check the corresponding product pages and the system requirements on supported operating systems.
- Older products which are not listed do not support macOS Catalina and consequently, no further updates are planned.
