soundtrack pro 3.0.1 can't run with OS High Sierra

I used for quite a long time Soundtrack Pro, version 3.0.1 together with Final Cut Pro, Compressor etc. on my iMac.

But now I upgraded the Mac to the High Sierrs OS, I can't use this version of Soundtrack Pro.

When I go the the Apple Support Site, I am given the choice of downloading the Soundtrack Pro 2.0.2 update.

Then when I want to install it (requesting me to change my security setting to accept unidentified developers, I can't install it in my running disk. I get a message "Soundtrack Pro Update can't be installed on this disk. Your computer does not need this update".

So please let me know what I can do to keep using my Soundtrack Pro version or get an update that can run in the OS High Sierra.

I dont want to face a situation in which I need to download a new Soundtrack Pro version and charging me again for that version (paying twice for more or less the same application is a nonsense.

MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), IOS 10.13.1 (not listed here)

The whole original Final Cut Pro Suite does not run on 10.13.

If you want to run SoundtrackPro, you need to downgrade your OS to the last working version or create a dual boot disk and install the last version of OSX that worked with STP and install STP as well.

So is it safe to assume it works on 10.12.x (Sierra)? I have a machine using it that needs to be updated and I want to make sure I can get the patches for Spectre and Meltdown. I know they are included in 10.11.6 (15G19009) but I would like to take the OS as close to current as I can without messing up the users workflow.

Thanks,

The last version of OS X on which Soundtrack Pro reliably worked was 10.6.8.

If it works for you on 10.12 - good for you. I would not bet the farm it will work and/or be reliable.
