[Pibe-division] Duxbury on a Mac

Tue Apr 26 21:28:38 UTC 2011

Hi Robert,

He's trying to run Duxbury in Windows on a virtual machine on the Mac. You can create a windows machine on the Mac with special software.

  Hello:

       It is my understanding that Duxbury does not have a Macintosh version of its translator.

  Regards,

  Robert

  Hi Dr. V,

  David uses VMware Fusion on his Mac to run Windows.  They do have a demo you could try.  He doesn't use Duxbury on the Mac but he seems to be happy with VMware.

  You might want to post on the NABS list.  A lot of those folks are using Apple technology.

    Hi everyone,
    I just purchased a mac laptop & would like to run Duxbury on it. I would like to run Mac & Windows side-by-side.
    I installed Parallels Desktop 6 for Mac & Windows Home Edition. The Duxbury Demo seems to run fine, but can't get the Duxbury software to accept the license for DBT 11.1 sr1 to activate the full version.
    I spent time with both Duxbury & Parrallels tech support - each tried to be helpful but in the end suspected the issue is not on their side.
    Any similar experiences? Any suggestions?
    Respectfully,
    DrV
