I hope a Mac user will chime in for you; I have the Win version, latest release, lot of runtimes, simultaneously running other programs, and it runs very smoothly except when I do some overcomplicated things in the material room. Then it crashes like a lead balloon.

I did not expect P12 not to run on my machines. I have not had any problems with any of its predecessors. On my current machines, P11 runs flawlessly and so do various other software (yes, even Studio).

The trial version is 12.07. It may well be that the problem is fixed in subsequent versions. The free downloadable P12 is more likely to scare people off or drive them to other products. In any case, I will stay with P11 and its arch competitor. Software where you have to expect a crash every moment is too annoying for me.
