DaisyDiskDaisyDisk versions
DaisyDisk 2 is available in two editions: Mac App Store and stand-alone
(the one you purchase in our own store). The table below illustrates differences between these two versions:
| Stand-alone edition | Mac App Store edition | |
|---|---|---|
| System requirements | Mac OS X 10.6 or newer | Mac OS X 10.6.6 or newer |
| Advanced features | — | |
| Updates via | Built-in Sparkle updater | Mac App Store |
| Registration | License keys | Apple DRM |
| Buy site version | Buy Mac App Store version |
If you wish to migrate from the Mac App Store to the stand-alone edition, send your purchase receipt or screenshot of your App Store’s Purchased tab with DaisyDisk visible to support@daisydiskapp.com and we’ll send you back the key. Migration to the Mac App Store edition is technically impossible without re-purchasing DaisyDisk.
