To upgrade from your Intel version, visit the 3Planesoft website or check the Mac App Store (if you originally obtained it there) — the download or update will automatically serve the native Universal Binary on Apple Silicon Macs. After updating, your existing preferences, saved maps, and customisation settings will carry over seamlessly.
