I have 26.3.1.643. I understand from an external source that there is an update (26.3.1.644) but Finale says I'm current, and if I try to go to the software downloads page on the Finale site, I get a 503 error (unavailable). Anyone else seeing this?

David, I'm on a Mac, and I also have .643. I don't know where your source gets their information. It may be a Windows update, but I have no idea. I've heard nothing about an update.

 

PLEASE add your platform and version to your signature.

macOS big sur. (sorry, didn't think that was particularly relevant here since it's a server issue).

Regardless, the download site is down. Is it up for you?

MacUpdater ran and told me about the update.

Hi David, I am not aware of any outages with our downloads page or at our eStore at this time. You may want to try resetting your web browser's cache and see if you get different results.

 

Did Finale's in-app updater tell you that there is a new update available? The latest update is v26.3.1.643 for Mac.

Not a cache issue-it's back up for me now so probably something that went down temporarily on the server. But here's what it looked like an hour ago.

 

no, Finale's updater didn't do it but Macupdater's database did.

Could .1644 be a foreign language build or one that uses a different licensing  scheme (site license, private server etc.)?

 

Don't know but when I see an incremental build number, that would be my guess. But then, I was in software and IP licensing for many years.

MacUpdater's database is not the authoritative source on this, Dave Cusick is.

@andrewkruse:

I'm not debating if someone who actually works at MakeMusic knows about the status of a Finale update. But the fact that MacUpdater did indicate a software update was available plus the downloads page was down on my end seemed to be a reasonable cause to at least ask about it on this forum. If you think I should have merely ignored all that, then let's agree to disagree. I have never known macupdater to be wrong about updates in the past, so its track record is pretty good.

Mac Updater? Yea right.

 

You did not post a version number that anyone could think to be an update.

Well I did think it was an update. Why would I not think that?
