Likewise, I lost Photoshop CS6 Extended due to the separate 32-bit licensing that now fails (even though Photoshop itself is 64-bit). That one caught me by surprise after Catalina, but I am setting up a Virtual Machine on another drive to run Mojave which supports 32-bit apps. As mentioned by @tronam, the deeper Catalina changes also affected my X-Plane 11's *.xpl files, which suddenly became quarantined. Fortunately, the fix was easy using Terminal to unquaratine the files. Other than that, I'm a happy camper in Catalina. I have over a 130 rack extensions and some VSTs like Ozone 8, and everything (except my old Line-6 32-bit VSTs) are working well.

Poohbear's latest mapping for the P6 works great! The latest update I installed is missing some Reason 11 mapping, i.e. like Scenic, but otherwise the Panorama works great on Catalina.

So what’s the ETA on this? My iMac won’t stop trying to update to Catalina every single day.

Huh? I have never been bugged about upgrading to a new version ever.

That's weird. I have never had to do any of that. I would get notifications that point updates are available, but never anything about a new, upgrade version. I can see new versions available when visiting the App Store, but that is the only place.

For me it‘s the same, but I read about. So there may be some unlucky users.
