Soundforge not running on macOS Big Sur V11.2 ???

Hi there !

I just received my new MacPro and I wish to install sound forge on this computer.
It seems not compatible with macOS Big Sur V11.2...

For info I did buy the license Sound Forge Pro Mac a few years ago (1.0 in 2017 then 3.0 in 2019). It was installed on a Mac Pro as well and ran very good.

I uninstalled completely the sofware on the old Mac and tried to install the soft on the new one.

I only got error messages from macOS Big Sur "Impossible d’ouvrir « Sound Forge Pro » car le développeur ne peut pas être vérifié"

Any ideas to help me to install Sound Forge ? Thanks for having reading me.
Best from France.

Mac Pro Spec : 3,5Gh Intel Xeon W 8 coeurs / 32Go RAM / macOS Big Sur

@Guillaume-Nyckees No, sadly it will not run on Catalina and Big Sur.

What a pity !!! I can also say it’s a shame to buy a license and not be allowed to use it... Sound Forge is really an awesome tool ! Don’t know how I can do without it...

Thanks for your quick replies by the way.

Assuming the new MAC is an Intel based one there is an option open to you - use Bootcamp to enable the MAC to dual boot, install MAC OS 10.14 (Mojave) on the new partition and then Sound Forge MAC
