Installing Dorico 6

I have been using Dorico Pro 5 on my new Apple Studio. Today I installed Dorico 6. However, it is in “Read only” mode as it says the version I am using does not cater for so many staves. (I am currently working on an orchestral work with 19 staves.) The new ‘proofreading’ facility is showing the number of mistakes I have made in the work, but I am unable to open it. I am a newcomer to both Apple and Dorico.

It’s a paid upgrade. Did you buy it?

Indeed, Jenny, Dorico 6 is a paid update from Dorico 5. You can buy an update here:

Thank you, Jesper and Daniel. I misread “ If you’re an existing Dorico user, you can update or upgrade to Dorico 6 right now, or if you want to try before you buy, a completely free 60-day trial version is also available from today” and thought it was a freebie!

I’m fairly new to Dorico, and I just upgraded to Dorico Pro 6 from Dorico Pro 5 ( on macOS Tahoe).

The installation of Dorico Pro 6 went well. But is it okay if I remove Dorico Pro 5? Will I have problems if I remove it? Thanks for any suggestions.

Of course you can remove it. If, for some reason you need it in future, you can download it again using Steinberg Download Assistant

Yes, thank you!
