About auto-activation plug-ins for Apple M1 systems

We are working to create plug-ins that work with the latest Apple systems. Until then, you can use Universal Type Client version 7.0.10 or later on your M1 system, but auto-activation will not be available. All of the other features of Universal Type Client work just fine, so you can activate and de-activate fonts through your workgroups and sets.
