I have several OCLP Macs now updated to 15.7.3, all of them with Defer90.mobileconfig. None of them is showing Tahoe. Not inclined to run the softwareupdate command, since this might trigger it 
Got a tip for us?

Defer Tahoe for 90 days

"reapplying" doesn't do anything. It doesn't matter when you installed the profile of how many time are you going to reinstall it, it’s always 90 days since the OS was released.

Depending on what Mac OCLP is faking, you may not need a profile at all.I have several OCLP Macs now updated to 15.7.3, all of them with Defer90.mobileconfig. None of them is showing Tahoe. Not inclined to run the softwareupdate command, since this might trigger it
Example: macOS Sequoia is compatible with iMac (Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, 2019), but macOS macOS Tahoe is not. So, if OCLP is making your Mac appear as an iMac from 2019, Tahoe will not show up as an upgrade.

That's an interesting point. Is there a quick way to find out which model is faked by OCLP (without mounting EFI partition and checking config.plist)?
There, in fact, the correct model is listed. Does that mean it is possible to run Sequoia on 2011 iMacs without faking the model (just inserting kexts and root patches)?About This Mac
I doubt it. I don’t know what OCLP does on your iMac, but someone in the dedicated thread should know https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/macos-15-sequoia-on-unsupported-macs-thread.2428654/
I just checked on my OCLP MBP 2015 – it is showing the same screen. From my view, it means that even if OCLP is spoofing a non-supported model for Tahoe, the defer policy is still in place. Otherwise it wouldn't mention the organization at all, wouldn't it?
I honestly don't know -- I'm just happy it's continuing to defer 😂
Me too! When things work I do not have too many questions, I’m just enjoying it. 😅
The next milestone will be 28 December 2025, 90 days since the release of macOS Tahoe 26.0.1 (29 September 2025). 🤞
Given that going on iOS 18 beta track switches of the nag for iOS 26...
...is it possible that going on macOS 15 beta track will switch off the nag for macOS 26? I'll try soon.
Could be yet another layer for our shield.
