Upgrading to Mac Screenwriter 6.5 from Screenwriter 6

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), though purchasing an upgrade to 6.5 includes a free update to a Catalina-compatible version of Mac Screenwriter once the new version of Mac Screenwriter becomes available in 2020.  We have a virtual machine workaround for Catalina users that requires some setup but lets Catalina users an option today.  Click on the following link for current update status on the Catalina-compatible version.
