Hero Lab Classic 64-bit Mac Open Beta

DaveM · 08:37 AM

64-bit Mac version is no longer in Beta. Version 8.9 and higher is 64-bit only for the Mac.

We are releasing a beta version of Hero Lab for the Mac today that is 64-bit and thus compatible with the new macOS Catalina (10.15) (which is itself currently in beta).

This beta may be installed safely on top of existing 32-bit versions, allowing either version to be used at any time. The gamesystems will automatically re-compile when switching versions, but otherwise they should be able to share data seamlessly.

If problems are discovered in the Beta, you may always revert to the original application. Any issues with the Beta, please report to our support email or in this forum.

[UPDATE] The beta has been updated and is now located at:

I installed the beta today. It installed fine and asked to reinitialize my license key, which it did without a problem. After restarting Hero Lab the problem is that it says my game system is not licensed for this license (Pathfinder in my case). I reactivated the license again from the program itself, but upon restart still get the same issue with the game system running in demo mode. Any ideas?

Which version of macOS are you working with? I have had at least one other person report this same issue who is using 10.15 beta, but I am unable to reproduce it in 10.13 or 10.14.

Same problem here, running on 10.13.6 High Sierra

I am running Mojave, 10.14.

I’ve been able to open Pathfinder, Shadowrun (4&5), and Savage Worlds without problem. I’ve made new character but have not saved yet.

I am at 10.14.5 (18F132) on a MacBook Pro

I'm seeing the same "unlicensed" problem as well. Running macOS 10.14.5. Specifically, it is telling me I'm not licensed for the Pathfinder content I've purchased.

I have posted an update to the Mac 64-bit beta that should address the issue with licenses not working. The installer for this is at:

Thanks to everyone who has tried this out so far!
