Out of pure curiosity, I've managed to run this proprietary application¹
on Debian 11, but to make it happen I had to manually unpack and
"install" it, and also implement a few hacks.
Installer scripts don't work and were poorly tested, also this software
depends on outdated "libpng15.so.15" dynamic library which is not in
Debian repos anymore.
So it is possible to run it, but there is no guarantee how this ugly
mess of a software will work after manual "installation" and I suggest
you to ask for updated version from the developers.
It makes sense, at least because they ask money for a license, even
though AFAICS it could be used as "free" viewer/editor.
There are also community forums² exist for this application, so you
probably better to ask for assistance there.
