Our Software Downloads page has the current versions of Dante Controller, Dante Virtual Soundcard (DVS), Dante Via, Dante Updater, DDM and Dante Studio. Each one lists the operating systems it supports.
If your computer can’t run the current version, for example an older Mac that can’t be updated or a computer kept offline in a venue, we may be able to give you an older version that supports your system. However, we’ve changed our license server for security reasons, so some older software versions will no longer activate. For details, see Important Security Update and Deprecation Notice: Software License Servers.
Important: DVS versions earlier than 4.2 can’t connect to our license server. If you’re installing DVS for the first time, you can’t activate a version earlier than 4.2. You’ll need DVS 4.2 or later on a supported operating system.
How to request an older version - Contact Support and tell us:
- the software you need: Dante Controller, DVS, Dante Via or Dante Updater
- your operating system and version, for example macOS 10.15 Catalina or Windows 10
- for a Mac, whether it’s an Intel or Apple silicon Mac
- for DVS, whether this is a new installation or a computer where DVS is already activated
We’ll send you a download link for the latest version that supports your system.
Good to know
- Older versions are provided as they are. They don’t get new features or bug fixes. Update your operating system and use the current version whenever you can.
- Support is limited for legacy software versions and operating systems.
- New DVS installations need version 4.2 or later to activate. If your operating system can’t run DVS 4.2, we can’t provide an older version that will activate.
- Dante works across software and firmware versions, so mixing an older Dante Controller with newer devices is normally fine.
- For Intel Macs, a DVS installer may show a compatibility warning. If we’ve told you that version supports your Mac, you can continue the installation.
