MORE INFORMATION

Here is the latest status of supported macOS versions across our Foundry products: 

The full list of supported macOS versions for Nuke and Flix can be found in the following articles:
Q100651: Supported operating system compatibility list for Nuke
Q100714: Supported operating system compatibility list for Flix

Mari 4.7 was the last version of Mari compatible with macOS. For more information, please see the following article: Q100599: Mari Support for macOS 

There was a known bug with macOS Sonoma 14.4 which prevented our RLM licensing from validating correctly. A fix for this issue has been added macOS Sonoma 14.5+, so we recommend updating to the latest macOS Somona version available. More information on the type of errors you might encounter can be found here: Q100217: How to resolve the "Clock setback detected" error message

As of Nuke 15.0v1 and Flix 6.5.0, both products natively support Apple's Silicon/ARM hardware.

Apple has confirmed that macOS Tahoe (26) is the final version to support Intel based Mac machines. All future macOS releases will require Apple silicon exclusively. To align with this transition, Nuke 17.0 and 16.1 are the last release lines to support Intel based Mac machines. Starting with Nuke 17.1, Foundry updates for macOS will require Apple silicon hardware.

Please rest assured that we are taking steps to meet new requirements and will address the incompatibility in future releases of our products.  We will update this article with more information when it becomes available.
