AI Recommendation
1 suggestionA native Apple Silicon build of Arnold License Manager has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community, so updating from your Intel version is straightforward. Autodesk typically delivers updates to Arnold components through the main Arnold installer or through Autodesk's download and licensing portal at autodesk.com. Download the latest Arnold package for your M-series Mac from Autodesk's website or through your Autodesk account, and reinstall it — the new version will include the native License Manager. If you manage Arnold through a larger Autodesk suite (Maya, 3ds Max, etc.), check whether the parent application has received a recent update, as Arnold components are often updated alongside those products. Alternatively, if you have an existing Arnold installation on your Mac, check for built-in update mechanisms within the Arnold UI or run any available Autodesk installer/updater tools.
