Fingerprint Problems with iMac Pro

My Mac is a iMac Pro with 8 Core Xeon, running Sonoma 14 iOS. I am using an Apple keyboard with Fingerprint sensor. I am not able to set the fingerprint on the computer. When I go under the System Settings I am not able to find the Touch ID system for use with my Mac.

Any Ideas?

iMac Pro, macOS 14.0

Magic Keyboard Touch ID only works with Silicone Mac's.

Check compatibility

To set up and use Touch ID on a Magic Keyboard with Touch ID,

you need a Mac computer with Apple silicon and macOS Big Sur 11.4 or later.

Do you mean "Magic Keyboard Touch ID only works with Apple Silicon Macs"? Both eh Intel and Apple products are Silicon.

If the issue is that Apple Silicon is required to work with the OS, then I understand.

I looked at both of the Highlighted processors and they both lead to each other.
