Veizik for Apple Silicon — 2026.10.02-r6.5

`veizik devices disable`, `veizik devices enable` and `veizik deactivate` now work on a Mac — the activation server used to refuse them with `target_required`, although the r6.3 and r6.4 notes said they worked. The engines are byte-for-byte the r6.1–r6.4 engines; only the `veizik` command changed.

This page records the state as of 2026-10-10 and is not updated as the catalogue moves. For what runs now, see models.

Highlights

What this build does

  • veizik devices disable, veizik devices enable and veizik deactivate work on a Mac. Until 2026-10-10 the activation server refused them from a Mac with target_required; the server was fixed, so they now work with r6.3 and r6.4 as well, and this build's veizik matches the fix.
  • veizik devices lists every machine on your licence with its status (active, released or revoked) and the day it was last seen, and marks the one you are on.

Verification
The file name, size and SHA-256 are printed on this page and on the release page, and the two agree. The disk image is signed with a Developer ID and notarised, and carries SHA256SUMS covering its other 49 files, so `shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS` checks the contents after you open it.

Fixed

Fixed issues

  • A Mac was refused veizik devices disable|enable and veizik deactivate with target_required, contradicting the r6.3/r6.4 notes. The activation server was corrected and this veizik matches it.
  • A licence file left by a much older build is now reported as an old format with the instruction to activate again, instead of "entitlement is malformed". It was refused before and is refused now.
