    This is mostly for Paul et al, though any real-life user experience would be most appreciated! My secondary computer, the one I use to host the bulk of my VSL sounds, is a 2009 Mac Pro. The latest OS it can accommodate is 10.10.5 (Yosemite). Does that mean that I will never be able to switch over to the iLok versions of VEP 7 and VSL software on that computer? Vienna Assistant lists macOS 10.13 as the miminum required system version—anyone know what happens if you try to load it onto a system as old as mine?

    Paul et al—I hereby release you from liability. :-) Is this a situation of "it should work OK but no promises and use at your own risk"? Or will it not work at all?

    Thanks,

    Peter

    Actually, never mind—the installer literally won't install onto the computer (unsuprisingly). So let me rephrase my question: Is there any way to install iLok versions of Vienna sample libraries or software onto an otherwise-perfectly-well-functioning Mac running a system too old to load Vienna Assistant?

    Thanks,

    Peter

    Hello Peter, 

    No way around the minimum requirements there.  Sorry to have no better news.

    Actually, with the help of some smart friends, I was able to upgrade the firmware on my 2009 MP such that I could load High Sierra. All set! Now we just need that MAS plug-in... 😊
