    How are we to use Daz Studio when the REQUIRED OS ARE OBSOLETE.  MAC  has not been supported in years and now Windows 10 is being phased out by Microsoft in the next months.  Will there be a cloud based option.  After being a loyal Daz 3 user for years and spending a significant amount of money (within my budget) on assets, it has been several years since I've been able to use Daz.

    Not sure what you mean by "unable to use Daz", DS works perfectly well under Windows 11 and the latest MacOS. You're limited to CPU-only on Mac for Iray rendering but that's because nvidia doesn't provide Mac drivers for their GPU anymore.

    The OP mentions DAZ3 and not having been able to use DAZ for several years [!] I think someone's having a bit of fun with the forum...

    Oh yes I missed that, since DS4 has been released more than 10 years ago and we're in a thread about 4.24... 

    For the record, while I wouldn't be surprised if DS3 doesn't work on recent MacOS since I remember problems getting DS4 to work on Big Sur, I don't see why it wouldn't work on Windows 11 (though I've not tested it).

    Daz 3 may be a typo for Daz 3D (which is, of course, able to work in a wide variety of browsers). If it is about anything other than DS 4 it definitely  doesn't belong here, if it is about DS 4 then the previous comments cover that it does work in the current OSes (though on Mac at least it will eventually not work once Rosetta 2 is removed).

    Sorry about the confusion, I meant being a Daz 3D customer - a customer of this company.  When I could not install the latest version of Daz Studio when I got my new Mac a year ago, I went to look at the requirements, and it said Windows 10 and Mac OS 10.*  I could not use it anymore on my old computer because the browser would not work, and I could not get access to my Daz assets.

    Split this to its own thread since it is not about a DS 4.24.0.x release

    What browser? DIM? What happens when you try? Have you made sure that Gatekeeper etc. are not getting in the way?

    What MacOS (or OS X) version and hardware are you running?
