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.
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 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.
