Issue:
How can I run QuoteWerks on Apple - Mac - OSX ?

Solution:
QuoteWerks is a Windows application and as such it will not run natively on a Mac OS.

You'll need to do one of three things in order to have QuoteWerks run on your Mac:

1) If you have an Intel based Mac you can dual boot into Windows. Do this and you can run QuoteWerks natively. Note the newer M series Macs do NOT have this capability, as Windows won't run on an ARM processor (Like the M series chips in the newer Macs).

2) VirtualPC / Parallels / VMWare: This will allow you to emulate a windows computer while still in the MacOS. You may then run QuoteWerks in this environment. Aspire Technologies does not support QuoteWerks in this environment, but may help to assist you.

Note that if you have Parallels and have a SQL installation of QuoteWerks this will NOT work, as running SQL within a Parallels environment WILL NOT WORK as SQL is expecting a native x86 processor and the M series CPUs don't cut the mustard for SQL.

3) Remote Desktop to a windows machine that is running Windows - and run QuoteWerks on that machine.
