I simply cannot find anything else right now that works as Freeway does, so I have to stick with it for awhile…
If I buy a new Mac this fall and move my install over will it activate or does it require an activation server that bit the dust along with the website?
Also, I was planning to upgrade a license to 7 from 6 around the same time, and right now (if it activates) that seems even more important to have the newest version to potentially be compatible the longest. Is there any way to still get an upgrade at this point or is that done too?

I have just performed a clean install on my MBP and reinstalled FW7. All is OK as long as you have the serial number. Having said that, I’m not sure how well FW7 will play with the upcoming Sierra OS.
Hope that helps

Jeremy Hughes, Senior Engineer at SoftPress, mentioned in another thread that, “unofficially speaking,” Freeway Pro 7 works fine on the MacOS Sierra beta. So I have no doubt you can upgrade to Sierra without worry.
HOWEVER, as I have stated in other threads, MacOS is constantly changing. A year hence you will likely want to update MacOS again, and then no one knows if Freeway will still work. So you should exercise wisdom and over the next year try to find a Freeway replacement. Look at other threads here on FreewayTalk where we are talking about “alternatives” and check those apps out and post your thoughts on those threads.

James, I ran this issue by a software professional friend of mine. His answer was encouraging: “You can always run old software on a new system with a Virtual Machine… I still have Windows XP running on my Mac from time to time to help a client with their older system. It is no problem.” He has been my Mac mentor for about 30 years and has never let me down yet. I’m trusting he’s right on this.
