How to Upgrade to Mac Screenwriter 6.5 (& 6.7) from Screenwriter 6

Upgrades may be purchased at Screenplay.com.

If you have High Sierra (MacOS 10.13) or Mojave (10.14), we recommend that you upgrade because Screenwriter 6.0 is not compatible with High Sierra.  You do not need to have Screenwriter 6.0 installed on your computer to upgrade to v6.5.

NOTE:  Screenwriter 6.5 currently is NOT compatible with Apple's Catalina (OSX 10.15) or higher, though the upgrade to 6.5 includes the 64bit version of Mac Screenwriter 6.7.  Screenwriter 6.7 is currently being tested by any 6.5 user who wants to use it.  It is fully functional and additional features are added regularly.  Click on the following link for current update status on the Mojave/Big Sur/Catalina version of Screenwriter 6.7.

• LINK:  Download the Screenwriter 6.5 software
