macOS Sonoma Compatibility: QuarkXPress 2024 (v20.0), projected for November release, will be compatible with macOS Sonoma and all supported previous macOS versions. QuarkXPress 2023 will not be compatible with macOS Sonoma at the time of Sonoma’s release, so we recommend customers not to upgrade to Sonoma unless they have QuarkXPress 2024, as it may cause performance and stability issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between a perpetual license and a subscription license, and why do you offer both?

A perpetual license is a traditional way of purchasing software, meaning you pay for the license upfront so you have the right to use the software in perpetuity. With a subscription license, a customer prepays a user fee, entitling them to use the software only during the subscription term. Quark added a subscription option because it has become a common software licensing model, benefitting both the customer and the vendor. Determining which license model to choose comes down to personal or organizational preference: owning the license with or without extended maintenance and support or having flexibility in terms of budgeting and scalability through a subscription. Another consideration is that a subscription license entitles the user to the latest version of the software plus applicable updates as long as the subscription is active, whereas the lifecycle of a product with a perpetual license will reach an end of life – meaning software updates and support will stop after a certain point.

A perpetual license for a new version of QuarkXPress has an average lifecycle of two years. The subscription license provides access to the latest version of the software plus applicable updates as long as the subscription is active.

One year of maintenance and support is included with new perpetual license purchases. You have the option to buy a maintenance and support extension when the first year expires.

Once your purchase is complete, you will receive an email from Quark with instructions about how to activate the software.
