How do I install all of my purchased software from NI?

Hi. I am on an Intel Mac. Which is stuck at Mac OS 11.7.9 (An Apple Issue, I know). But how do I install my NI software purchases? I had an older verion of Native Access that allowed me to install purchases up to that point. But it wanted me to update to the latest version today. And neglected to let me know that it was only compatible with Mac OS version 12 and later. Now I can't do anything. And I deleted the older version of Native Access. I have a bunch of NI plugins I have purchased, I would like to use. And no, a new Mac is not an option. This machine is about 8 years old. Cost nearly $5K. And runs EVERYTHING else I try to install. Including lots of other plugins I buy nearly weekly right up to today.

Unfortunately - without MacOS 12 as a minimum - there is no way to proceed to get the most out of your NI software.

These requirements are not flexible.

I was able to find another post here, with the same issue. And reinstall a legacy Native Access Installer. And I have already figured out the issue. So telling me there is no solution is definately not helpful. Or the right answer.

Glad you worked it out. However not sure what legacy NA version you are referring to but if it is v1 - that is retired and on severe borrowed time. It will be shut down permanently on Feb 29.

Didn’t think any other old version of NA could handle current product as well. If you bought some really new products -thought you needed to use NA 3.16.0

Some of these products were purchases froma few years ago. But for some reason, disappeared from my software. Like others have pointed out. It was Native Access 3.12.1 that I went back to.

Interesting. Glad you got it going.
