It has been reported that the software will not run on versions of MacOS that are later than macOS 10.14 - Mojave, even though there is a MacOS version available for download.

You may attempt to download the MacOS version, however, if you receive an error, please refer to the list of recommended options that are available on the Embry-Riddle's Worldwide Computer Requirements: Mac Users page. These options will install a virtual machine on your Mac computer so that you may run a Windows operating system.
