The product compatibility for the macOS 12 (Monterey) operating system can be found in this article.
Please ensure that you always use the latest updates available for our products!
Native Apple silicon support (as of December 2021): all upcoming major product releases will be available as native applications that do not have to rely on Rosetta 2 anymore.
Older products which are not listed do not support macOS Monterey and consequently, no further updates are planned.
