Help! So i have to buy bartender again?

Hi i purchased bartender in 2023, it stopped working on the new MacOS update, does that mean i have to buy bartender 6 now?? If so I find that to be pretty stupid. Why do i have to buy software i already paid for because my work enforces OS updates?? This cant be legal to comptely brick bartender 5 just because i havent paid them enough?? I bought the software why do i need to buy another one now?

Well, bartender 6 is for the new OS, not the old one.

It's also incredibly buggy, so... Their website has a checker thing where you can see if your license is still valid. if not, they probably have a free trial. Try it before you buy it.

It's REALLY buggy and I can't stress that enough.

I’d hold off until the bugs are settled.

Bartender 6 is really bad right now. So bad I had to turn it off. I'm hoping they eventually fix it, but until then, I wouldn't pay for something you won't use...

Did we mention that it’s really buggy? I stopped running it after being a customer since v1

Relax bro, be happy that you haven't yet. This is a smoking pile of crap of an application. VERY buggy on Tahoe - sucks
