old version of DP and new mac compatibility question

Post by zwolf »

Hi folks -

Super infrequent DP user here with a "behind the times" basic question here. My version of DP is 5.11 and I had been running it on a MMD G4 dual 1.25 with no problems (haven't used the program in 2 years). I'm about to get a new Mac Mini with the latest OS which will be a cheapish way to improve on my dinosaur of a computer. I have a basic project coming up for which the functionality in DP 5.11 is all I need and really can't afford to upgrade right now. Will I have any problems running this older version of DP on the new Mac Mini or will it be smooth sailing? Is there anything I need to be wary of?

Thanks for the help,

Zwolf

5.11 will work but most users will suggest updating to 5.13 if you are going to stay with DP5.
if you can upgrade DP7.02(soon to be 7.1)will be a great $195 upgrade,well worth the price.
good luck
