# Can I use my Storage Studio licence on an Intel Mac?

No — Storage Studio is for **Apple silicon Macs only** (M1 and newer). Intel Macs aren't supported, and there is no version to download for them. An Intel Mac that already has Storage Studio is never offered an update it can't run.

Your licence isn't tied to one Mac model, so if you move to a Mac with Apple silicon you can activate it there. Questions about your situation? Email support@storagestudio.us.
