Zerene Stacker

Zerene Stacker Downloads

Downloads of Zerene Stacker are a 30-day free trial for new users, and the initial download or free update for licensed users.

There is really only one version of the software. With no license key installed, it runs in time-limited trial mode. Installing a license key unlocks features for unlimited use.

Note: Due to its relatively small distribution, Zerene Stacker is sometimes identified by malware protection software as “untrusted”. We have also seen a few false-positive indications where a Zerene Stacker installer was erroneously identified as containing some sort of malware. If you have any difficulties with installation, or any security concerns about the installers, please see How To Validate A Download and/or contact support@zerenesystems.com for help.

The current production version of Zerene Stacker is Build T2023-06-11-1120 (June 11, 2023), as follows:

  • macOS (Intel cpu): ZS-MacOSX-SA-T2023-06-11-1120.zip, downloads as a .zip file that automatically expands into an application bundle named ZereneStacker (.app).
    This is the recommended bundle for modern Intel Macs running macOS 10.14 or above. It is self-contained and includes its own Java 17 runtime environment.
    Length 48,411,794 bytes
    MD5 checksum 28224784a915664ee03df8533aaac101
    SHA-1 checksum 093a0dcbf8e50873debf838b265a8fa4493276e5
  • macOS ("Apple silicon" M-series cpu): ZS-MacOSX-ARM-SA-T2023-06-11-1120.zip, downloads as a .zip file that automatically expands into an application bundle named ZereneStacker (.app).
    This is the recommended bundle for modern Macs with an “Apple silicon” M-series cpu (ARM architecture). It is self-contained and includes its own ARM-native Java 17 runtime environment. Rosetta is required for the launch program and a few helper programs – so macOS will report the package as “Intel” – but all the heavy computation runs ARM-native.
    Length 47,213,939 bytes
    MD5 checksum 89929ab01e9b992c6da89cc0c3188e1a
    SHA-1 checksum d4fd22e579cd61d374a58f74456780fd7cb10d6d
  • macOS (interim): ZS-MacOSXinterim-SA-T2023-06-11-1120.zip, downloads as a .zip file that automatically expands into an application bundle named ZereneStacker (.app).
    This bundle is suitable for Macs running macOS 10.9 through 10.14. It is self-contained and includes its own Java runtime environment.
    Length 52,555,659 bytes
    MD5 checksum 6a9ef5047e146ef9689cfadab583a0b2
    SHA-1 checksum 263613cd14b73cffda22b2347414859e67eeff83
  • Mac OS X (old): ZS-MacOSXold-SA-T2023-06-11-1120.zip, downloads as an application bundle named ZereneStacker (.app).
    This bundle is not self-contained. It requires a Java runtime environment installed by Apple, and will prompt for installation of Java if one is not already installed. It runs as 64-bit where the processor and operating system support it, and as 32-bit otherwise.
    Length 8,677,776 bytes
    MD5 checksum 77937463f00ad82e28ccd1af857d3d92
    SHA-1 checksum 7f61e201af98d8362cdc9e45786a4ba6a002f38f
