Can't install AE 2023 on Mac pro 6,1 (Sonoma)

I've just put a fresh install of Sonoma on my 2013 Mac Pro 6,1 which previously had Monterey installed and creative cloud will no longer let me install After Effects version 23.x - it says that After Effects is not compatible with my computer.

After Effects version 23.x worked perfectly on this mac prior to me doing the clean install (although I understand later versions 24.x + are no longer compatible with this hardware).

Is there a way of installing the 2023 version or is it a compatability issue between After Effects, Sonoma and the mac 6,1?

Would you read this release note below? You may find the cause there.

Thanks for the link ToolfarmJP.

 

It doesn't seem related to rosetta on an m1/m2 issues - it's an intel based mac pro from 2013 - I know that AE2023 will run on it as we have other identical machines running Monterey that have installs of AE 2023 that work perfectly - it's just that the creative cloud app no longer gives me the ability to install older versions of the app (for AE and premiere).

 

 

Edit - The O/S is actually the same - I was incorrect it's Monterey that I've done a clean install on that I could previously run/install AE 23.x on - now the option of installing other versions is simply unavailable.
