Hi,
I'm not a Mac person, but one of my clients who is running LR5 got this message when she open LR recently.
"This software will not work with future versions of macOS and needs to be updated to improve compatibility. Contact the developer for more information."
So, not being a Mac person I'm not up to speed on what changes may occur in the next Mac OS that would cause LR5 to stop running. One thing I can think of is if she's running a 32 bit version of LR5 and the next Mac OS will no longer support 32bit applications. Am I on the right track here?
Can someone confirm if that is the issue, and if not, what the problem and solution is other than going to a rental plan?
Would she be able to update to a 64 bit version of LR5 under her existing Perpetual license and would that deal with the issue?
Would buying a Perpetual License version of LR6 solve this problem?
Any added info will be helpful..
Thanks -- Dan
PS - I'm guessing at her current Mac OS version
