How to use Dorico SE on High Sierra

Hi, my wife has an „outdated“ macbook only supporting High Sierra, but desperately would like to try out Dorico SE. However, SE 4 is only available for Mojave and above, hence we missed registering for any SE version below that. SE 3 and 3.5 are still available for download via the Steinberg assistant, but how do I receive a license for one of these older versions? Any help is appreciated! Many thanks, Alex

Hi, depreadbury, I have the same Problem. On my Mac runs only High-Sierra. Would you be so kind, sending me the activation code. Thanks a lot.

Maybe you can install Mojave in your Mac. This is unsupported, but the instructions below are from a reliable source. It seems you can, with a minimum of work, install Mojave on unsupported Macs.

I have remained with High Sierra longer than needed, due to a few major issues with font smoothing and Creative Suite CS6 compatibility. It came out that font smoothing was not all that bad, and InDesign worked better, with a little patch, in Mojave instead of HS.

I can’t find a way to make it show in English, but this is probably dependent on the OS language.

For what I can see, Mojave is the most stable Mac OS ever. HS, on the contrary, was sort of a release candidate for Mojave, with very little stability. If possible, upgrade!

Welcome to the forum, Joshua.

Dorico 5 requires MacOS 10.15 Catalina or later. Dorico 4 requires 10.14 Mojave or later. The latest version that will run under 10.13 High Sierra is Dorico 3.5. I looks like you can get 3.5 at this webpage. But I don’t know about licensing for it now.
