![]() There are several reasons why we did not openly communicate on this yet. indeed I don't believe that the situation with the dongles and the existence of dongle-less WIBU security has ever been mentioned on the Facebook page. (of course, some users may ignore an email, there's nothing you can do to make them read it, but at least you can point back to a specific announcement that was made so no one can complain they were not informed about the change.) I also would not necessarily count on people reading about it on the TVPaint Facebook page. ![]() The last time I think I can recall having an email newsletter from TVPaint is maybe in 2018 ? I don't recall ever receiving an email announcing that the Safenet dongles are now unsupported on Big Sur and Monterey and that the dongle-less TVPaint is now available, so all users should switch to WIBU if they are on Big Sur or Monterrey (of course, I know all about this because I am on this forum frequently, but in my experience only a handful of TVPaint users actively follow what is posted here on the forum.) Maybe a general email announcement was sent out to all users regarding the new WIBU system, but I don't remember it. or three may have passed by and when they finally get around to updating their MacOS they discover that their new MacOS (Big Sur or Monterey) will not let them open their TVPaint. However, at this time everything in my system functions smoothly, so I have no reason to tempt the computer gremlins to mess with my pipeline). (for example, I myself am still running the now abandoned MacOS 10.14 Mojave. If we are in the midst of a production pipeline where everything works just fine with MacOS High Sierra or MacOS Mojave, there is no way we are going to update, at least until the production is finished. especially MacOS which is notorious for breaking things which previously worked. The truth is, many artists - myself included - have a policy of "if it's not broken, don't fix it" with regard to software updates. But it is interesting to me how many people seem to be unaware that the dongle-less TVPaint is a thing now. Of course, I explain that TVPaint is now dongle-less ( "It is ?! That's great, when did that happen?" is the usual reaction) and I direct them to contact TVPaint Support to get switched over to the dongle-less system. Over the last year (or maybe longer) I have had a number of friends and associates contact me asking me how to fix this problem (I am known as being a "TVPaint evangelist"). Many users only discover this when they update their MacOS and find to their horror that their TVPaint dongle is no longer recognized. I believe that many (most?) TVPaint users don't frequent this forum. ![]() In my experience I think this has not been communicated widely and effectively. Please use our Contact Form so our team can help you migrate to the new dongleless system. ![]() You can find a full list of changes here.īig Sur will be available for iMac (2014 or later), iMac Pro, Mac Pro (2013 and later), Mac mini (2014 and later), MacBook Air (2013 and later), MacBook Pro (Late 2013 and later), and MacBook (2015 and later).The old dongles no longer work with macOS Big Sur and higher. Other than that, Big Sur also features a host of other changes, including a brand new design, updated Safari, new Messages and Mail apps, Control Center, updated Notification Center, new widgets, and lots more. And third, Big Sur will also support iOS and iPadOS apps natively. It will also include Rosetta 2, which will allow users to run Intel x86 based apps that aren't universal to be run within a virtualized environment. It will include support for universal apps, which are apps designed to run on the new Apple Silicon as well as Intel x86 based Macs. At its event today Apple announced that the next generation of its desktop operating system - macOS Big Sur - will be available this Thursday on November 12.īig Sur is the next major release for macOS and it's especially a big one this year as it enables support for the Apple Silicon based Macs, including the new MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and the Mac mini that were announced today with the new Apple M1 chip.
