What Operating Systems are compatible with the Legacy versions of Smaart?

From Smaart v6 onward, our software has been designed to be dual-platform. Each Smaart license comes with installers for both Windows and macOS. Please refer to the chart below for the oldest and newest operating system (OS) supported by each version of Smaart:

While we do not have any specific system requirements for Smaart v7 or older, there is a specific set of system requirements for Smaart v8, Di v2, and SPL v1 that can be found by clicking here.

Smaart v7, Smaart v7 Di, and the Smaart IO Control Application are not supported in MacOS Catalina 10.15 or newer due to Apple's discontinuation of 32-bit application support. Please do not upgrade your operating system if you plan to continue using these applications on your Apple devices.

*Before upgrading to the latest version of macOS or Windows, please make sure the audio interface you will be using with Smaart has compatible drivers for the newest operating system. It is critical to ensure your audio device has compatible drivers, as an incompatible driver may not be recognized by Smaart and may cause Smaart to crash.
