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

Upgrades may be purchased at Screenplay.com.

The upgrade includes one new serial number that works with two versions:

• 32bit Screenwriter 6.5 for Mojave and earlier versions including High Sierra (10.14-10.10)
• 64bit Screenwriter 6.7 for Catalina and higher

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.  If you have Ventura, Monterey, Big Sur or Catalina, we recommend that you upgrade because those versions only run 64bit apps like Screenwriter 6.7.

If you have difficulty upgrading after following the step by step directions below, please contact Contact Customer Service / Sales and they will help process your upgrade.

• LINK:  Download the Screenwriter 6.5 software
• Install the software, which requires you to create a NEW account to register Screenwriter 6.5 because it has a different serial number (beginning with MMSW) and license management process than Screenwriter 6
