EIAS 6.6.2, OSX, and dongle replacement

[SteveW928]

Hello,

 

I have some questions about getting my older EIAS running, as I want to re-render some of my portfolio items. I have version 6.6.1 (and assume 6.6.2 is an updater or updated version I can download) and an Intel MacBook Pro (from like 2007-ish), and also a newer Mac mini (hopefully getting a new iMac in a few weeks).

 

First, I can't seem to find my dongle. :(  I'm going to do one more search, but I think it may be gone. Can I order a replacement for the $50? If so, will it work with 6.6.2 as well as 9.1 if I upgrade?

 

Second, what OSX would be the best version to install on the MacBook Pro? I'm assuming there is no good way to make it work on my mini or upcoming iMac (as I can't go old enough with the OS). Is Leopard the latest that will run 6.6.2?

 

Hopefully I can round up some 3D work and justify upgrading to 9.1.

 

Thanks,

-Steve

Ola Steve!

If you dont find your dongle, you can request a replacement dongle ($50.0 + shipping).

Probably Leopard is the latest OSX which 6.6.2 will run.

EIAS 9.1 runs fine using 10.6.8 or earlier.

Thanks a lot

Thanks Tomas.

If I get to EIAS 9.1, I'll be running on the latest OSX, so no worries there. I'm just glad I have an old machine around that can still run Leopard.
