Finale Forum

Not sure if I am in the right place for this question.

A few years ago (I think 2009) I purchased a copy of Finale PrintMusic from eBay. I installed it on my Mac running Tiger (OS 10.4). I used it for several years. Then just recently my computer crashed and I lost everything. I still have the installation disk and serial number, but my replacement computer now runs OS 10.14.6 (Mojave). Well, the version of PrintMusic I have will not install on Mojave.

Is it possible to get a PrintMusic update that will run on Mojave if I provide the serial number? Or must I pay for a new copy of PrintMusic?

Nope. The last PM for Mac is 2014, which won't run on 10.14. You will need to upgrade to Finale.

Ernie,
I had the same situation. I had used Print Music since 2004 (I think).
I believe that the issue is that PM is a 32 bit program and your iMac runs on a 64 bit program.. I tried running PM but as you found out, doesn't work very well and the program keeps crashing.
I took the $200 option and installed the full Finale v26.2, however the learning curve is significant, I still am learning on a day by day basis using the tutorials and printing out the pieces as needed...
Printing out parts has been a major issue but if it is for you also, try tutorial 7, parts - working with linked parts.
This hint was provided to me by some of the guys in the forum.
