Question

PSE 2020 and Mac Big Sur

Hi all

I can't see any recent posts about this. Just wondered if anyone had updated to Mac OS Big Sur and could confirm whether PSE 2020 still works?

I can see from the publicity blurb that PSE 2021 is compatible (but then they would want people to upgrade - again!), but no reference on their site to the 2020 version compatability.

Not many Apple users here, so, the usual:

Hi Thanks. Yes, I didnt find that page particularly helpful... they clearly want us to upgrade to the 2021 version so they don't actually say that 2020 is not compatible. It's annoying that something that was until very recently the most up to date version, is not supported. Beginning to question whether to keep shelling out money on upgrades for this product when they seem to be supported for so little time

The problem, Michel, is that shelling out for Apple hardware is a one-off capital expense for most of us whereas shelling out to software companies for patches to keep up with Apple's free upgrades is a steady, revenue expense.   Having funds for a capital expense does not mean  one can afford to budget for continued re-purchase of more up to date product licemnces/applications.


That's your problem. Not mine with Windows.
