I ran into the same issue with eSellerate licenses and SpamSieve, except that I used my own licensing system for newer purchases. I ended up supporting the old licenses in the native app by using an XPC service that runs in Rosetta. However, I do not necessarily recommend this approach. There&rsquo;s a bug where, on certain Macs, XPC messages get blocked: the service never receives them and so the app hangs waiting for a response. I&rsquo;m guessing this is a Rosetta issue, since I ran into a <a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2021\/05\/04\/script-debugger-8\/\">similar bug<\/a> with AppleScript and Rosetta and because I&rsquo;ve not heard of such problems with the many apps that use XPC services of the same architecture. [Update (2021-11-03): The problem seems to be that Rosetta is not installed, and rather than prompting to install it XPC just hangs.]<\/p>\n\n<p>Previously:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2021\/05\/03\/superduper-3-5-beta-1\/\">SuperDuper 3.5 Beta 1<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2019\/03\/15\/esellerate-shutting-down\/\">eSellerate Shutting Down<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p id=\"superduper-3-5-beta-4-for-monterey-and-apple-silicon-update-2021-10-28\">Update (2021-10-28): <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shirtpocket.com\/blog\/index.php\/shadedgrey\/comments\/its_a_trip_to_the_moon_not_a_marathon\/\">Dave Nanian<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/dnanian\/status\/1452730192183676933\">tweet<\/a>):<\/p>\n<blockquote cite=\"https:\/\/www.shirtpocket.com\/blog\/index.php\/shadedgrey\/comments\/its_a_trip_to_the_moon_not_a_marathon\/\"><p>At long last, v3.5 is out[&#8230;]<\/p><p>[&#8230;]<\/p><p>Bootable backups under macOS 11 (Big Sur) and later are a bit strange, because they don&rsquo;t show up immediately in the Startup Disk Preference Pane.
