The final Mac releases were developed for Intel-based Macs and are not native to Apple Silicon. They may run through Rosetta on some Apple Silicon systems, but this has not been certified or guaranteed.
No native Apple Silicon edition was released, and we do not plan to update the applications for newer versions of macOS—including any future release that no longer supports Rosetta.
If your current Windows installation is working, you can continue using it on the same computer and operating system. The current release is final and will not receive compatibility updates, new features, or bug fixes.
Remote BLAST, database downloads, license communication, and other online features rely on servers and protocols outside our control. They may stop working if a third-party provider changes or discontinues a service.
