Hello,
I have been running my finale 2004 in my PC for one year, when they sold this to me they told me the software would run in either MAC or PC.
When I try to install it in my iMac OS9 it request me to choose a different software to run it.
I really would appreciate any help !
Thank you very much,
Fernando Valencia

jvalenc,

You can't use the Windows version of Finale 2004 in Mac OS, and you can't use the Mac version in Windows.
The two versions may have the same functionality, the same hotkeys and the same .MUS document format, but they are quite different in the actual machine code.

What you need, is an installer disc with the Mac version.
The installer disc for Finale 2006 contains on the same disc installers for both the Windows version and the Mac version, but I don't think that is the case for Finale 2004.
