System requirements
What runs where
Nolvra plugins run on macOS and Windows, and so does the Nolvra Hub, the app that installs, activates and updates them. One license covers both platforms. If you would rather not install the Hub, a licensed plugin can be activated directly with your license key.

Reading the table
Each row repeats what that product's own page lists under macOS, so the two can never disagree. Where a row names an architecture rather than a version, the product page does not state a version floor. RIDGE, IMAGER and PRISM PRO state macOS 11. PRISM MINI, RAW and RELIC state macOS 14. PRISM MINI and RELIC have no license key, so the Nolvra Hub is the only way to install them and those rows state the Hub's macOS version rather than their own. Every other row states that product's own baseline, and RAW's is set by the runtime it carries rather than by the plugin.
If the Hub won't open
On macOS the Hub needs macOS 14. On an older system it downloads but will not launch, which is why the requirement is printed next to the download button rather than left to a support page.
Plugins are a separate question: a plugin's own baseline is listed above, and a licensed plugin can be installed with a license key without the Hub. PRISM MINI and RELIC are not licensed that way. Neither has a license key or an activation field, so the Hub is the only way to install either of them, and both rows state the Hub's macOS version rather than their own.
