I want to upgrade XOJO to current version so I can build 64bit MacOS apps. No interest in WEB, IOS, or Windows. I have been told that I need to purchase current version of XOJO (not upgrade)
My question is can I get by with the Lite version . I am using SQL and ARGen. It is only $99 compared to $299 for the Desktop version.
Sounds like the platform-specific Lite version is just what you need.
You could get away with the Lite $99 version in this case.
However, I transferred a spare Pro license to you and emailed you but I never heard further, maybe a year or so ago. Its not the most recent but it can build 64-bit Mac apps. Its still yours if you want it.
I misstated the issue. The problem with 64bit is that I am running XOJO version 2017 release 2.1 which is a 32bit application. My pro license expired Dec 1, 2017; and I am running the latest version I can run.
Oh I see. If your Mac has been updated to Catalina, and thus wont run 32-bit apps, then youve got 3 choices that I can think of:
- downgrade to Mojave, which does allow 32-bit apps to run
- buy the $99 Lite license
- run Mojave or lower in a virtual machine in VMWare Fusion or similar, a possibly slow choice but if its a simple recompile, this would be fine
Thanks to all.
Think I will do the $99 upgrade.
BTW I’m trying to cut the number apps I use due to age, At 88 it’s getting harder to remember what changes I have made.
