Really A Separate Cost for the MAC Version

I have been upgrading and using Sound Forge for many years. Last week I purchased one of the New Mac M1 Mini Units and I went looking for the Mac Version of my Sound Forge. In my login area I only see the Windows Version. Do they really charge a separate charge for the MAC Version? You have to be kidding me ? Please tell me that this is not true that if you own the Windows version that you also need to buy the Mac Version Separately.

@James-Bandes The MAC version doesn't even run on Catalina or Big Sur. So it's better to use SoundForge WIN with Wine.

Me too. It's over for Mac and SF. I regret ever switching over from the PC to the Mac version.

I just installed Premier last week and it's working perfectly on my Mac. Easy to adapt to as well, just expensive.
