Is numbers 09 supported by el capitan? Or there is a new one on it?

I can't say for sure but I can tell you my experience. Last weekend I reinstalled Yosemite from scratch (my Mac was getting pitifully slow) then I updated to El Capitan a day ago. None of my iWork '09 apps are working in El Capitan but I had not tested them after the reinstall of Yosemite so I can't say for certain they were working beforehand. I never had a problem with them before this OS so I am leaning toward they do not work in El Capitan.

Hi cecered78,

I am having no issues opening '09 Pages and Numbers in El Cap. Numbers files seem to open a little faster. I haven't done any work in the programs. The new versions have been serving me well.

So, is it new on el capitan?

Yes, version 9.6.1.

Numbers 2.3 (part of iWork '09) opens under El Capitan here and seems to be running fine. However, I'd keep in mind that it is after all 6-1/2-year-old "orphanware." Sooner or later there will come a day when it won't work. If you have the old Numbers on your machine you can upgrade it for free via the Mac App Store. After the upgrade you will have both versions on your Mac, the new one in your main Applications folder and the old one in a subfolder. Some people still prefer the old version, so it's good to have both.

Not sure why it doesn't show it as free (you could try resetting your purchase history in Mac App Store) but I'm guessing if you click through and "purchase" it will recognize you have Numbers '09 and not charge you.
