For those of us with the S1500M, there are several considerations:
- There is no 64-bit software support for the S1500M from Fujitsu.
- Even if the S1500M were supported, the new ScanSnap Home software has severe licensing and registration restrictions that are unacceptable to me and others who are knowledgeable.
- Currently macOS Mojave will allow the older (32-bit) ScanSnap Manager V6.3L70 to operate. Apple has indicated that future versions of macOS will not support 32-bit software.
- You might consider 3rd-party software such as ExactScan or VueScan. Others have reported success with these.

Another choice for ScanSnap S1500M owners would be to restrict our Mac computers to macOS Mojave (or earlier versions of macOS). In other words, don’t upgrade to the next macOS version. Not a great choice, in my opinion. A better choice might be to buy a new Epson or Brother document scanner.
