Dear valued Finale customer,
On August 26, 2024, we announced the sunset of Finale and encouraged our users to migrate to Dorico, which we believe represents the future of the music notation industry. We recognize that this news may feel disruptive.
After reviewing early feedback from our dedicated users, we’d like to offer some clarifications.
Finale development has ended, but you can still download your previously purchased Finale versions from your eStore account. If your computer crashes or you need to install Finale on a new device, you’re not left without options.
We are committed to keeping the authorization process functional for a year. We’ve heard your concerns and are actively exploring ways to extend flexibility in the weeks ahead.
We understand that learning Dorico will be a steep learning curve, as it is with any complex notation or professional software. Both our team and Steinberg have developed extensive onboarding videos to guide you through the transition.
