The following list of applications either have issues launching on macOS 11.0 (Big Sur), or are still 32-bit applications and will not run on neither macOS 10.15 (Catalina) nor macOS 11. Please note that older versions of applications were not tested here – only the most current versions available in Managed Software Center were checked for the ability to launch successfully or 64-bit compatibility.

This list is current as of 5-13-2021.  This list will be updated as newer versions of these applications come out.

IF THESE APPLICATIONS ARE IMPORTANT TO YOU:   Please reach out to the vendors and ask what their timeline for Big Sur support is.

For Apple Silicon (“M1”) systems, we have additional caveats beyond this list here

No ETA / other:
