For what it's worth, it look like AE version 6.5 from 2006 was the first to roll in the Grain Surgery plugins and version 7.0 was the last before they moved to the Intel Universal Binary that may be the era you're trying to avoid with your Mac Pro. Man, I actually still have those!
That information about the different versions is priceless! Thank you so much.
I actually need to get past version 7.0 then, because my Mac Pro absolutely requires the Intel Universal Binary version, but I cannot go beyond version 11.0.something, because at one point, the Mac version required a version of the highest OS X that will run on my machine, which happens to be Lion OS X 10.7.5; it will not support Mountain Lion, Mavericks or Yosemite.
It would be nice if one could sell older versions after you use them to upgrade to a higher version, but that would be absolutely illegal and the serial number wouldn't work for a different user.
Adobe still sells a perpetual version of AE CS6 for $1,000 which is a bit much to regain the filters on my Mac Pro.
Actually, I have the GrainSurgery2 suite of filters installed and running on Photoshop CS4 under Tiger 11.0.4 on my Power Mac G5-Quad, which is networked and shares the keyboard and dual monitors with the Mac Pro. It would be nice not to have to go through my little Ethernet 2-Macs network to use the GS2 grain filters.
Thank you very much.
