Fujitsu<\/a> (via David Sparks<\/a>):<\/p>\n

ScanSnap Home is the 64 bit application for macOS for the following ScanSnap scanner models.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

The 64 bit application for macOS is not provided for the old scanner models such as ScanSnap S1500, S1500M, and etc. because their support periods have already expired. \nIf you wish to have the 64 bit application for macOS, please consider purchasing ScanSnap products that are currently available on the market.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Unlike before<\/a>, the new software really doesn’t seem to work with the old scanners, and it will remove the old software when you install it. It seems silly to replace hardware that’s still working perfectly, especially when I have doubts about the new software<\/a>, so I’ll probably set up my old MacBook Pro that can’t run Mojave to use it with the old software.<\/p>\n\n

Update (2018-12-11): Mark Munz<\/a>:<\/p>\n

64-bit support was WAY overdue. After taking so long, they now expect customers to buy a brand new piece of hardware ($$$$) to get it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

I was planning to use a VM for that. I’m very disappointed, especially because I’ve heard a lot of bad things about the new software that ships with the newer devices.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Update (2019-01-01): Dave Howell<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

Hey @scansnap … Is the ix500 compatible with eero mesh networks? I am getting a “ScanSnap could not be connected to the Internet” error. This network supports 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz, so it’s not that. My Mac is on Mojave if that matters. Is it a known problem?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

\n

Every time I update @FujitsuAmerica’s ScanSnap Home software, IT USES A LICENSING SLOT! Looks like I can only update 2 more times. Then I’ll replace it with an Epson or any other brand that doesn’t actively crap on their users.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Update (2019-04-28): Bill Bumgarner<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

Hey, @FujitsuAmerica. Your latest Scansnap home update appears to have fixed the licensing issues! THANK YOU!<\/p>\n

I’m going to live on this across a couple more updates to make sure.<\/p>\n

If so, I’ll be happily recommending the IX500 again!!!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
