SUMMARY

This article covers support across the Foundry products for Apple's latest macOS updates and their new Mac line of products with Apple Silicon processors.


MORE INFORMATION

The latest released macOS version, Sonoma, is currently supported by our Nuke family, Modo and Flix Foundry products.


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

Product macOS Catalina (10.15) macOS Big Sur (11) macOS Monterey (12) macOS Ventura (13) macOS Sonoma (14.5) macOS Sequoia (15)

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

NOTE: There is a known bug with macOS Sonoma 14.4 which is preventing our RLM licensing from validating correctly. A solution has been implemented in the latest macOS Sonoma 14.5 so we recommend updating to the latest macOS 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

NOTE: We are aware of a change in the operating system which could potentially prevent Foundry licensing from working on the upcoming macOS 15 (Sequoia) release. This will prevent our software from launching and as such, we strongly recommend that users do not upgrade their OS until the issue has been addressed. More information here: Q100689: macOS 15 (Sequoia) not supported across Foundry products

Nuke family, Modo and Flix Foundry tools are supported natively on Apple's new Apple Silicon hardware.
