Thanks to all of you who responded.<br>There were quite a few private responses & it looks like a lot of people interested in using Duxbury in the MAC environment.<br>The Duxbury 11.1 software (internet download & CD versions) would not cooperate with a fresh 1st time installation. Figuring I had nothing to loose, I inserted an older 10.6 disc. This activated smoothly & I then had no problem upgrading to 11.1 over that. A round about fix...<br>
I am using Parallels 6 as my virtual PC. Works great. Doesn't seem to run particularly slow.<br>For those interested in using the MAC - I encourage you to call or email Duxbury & let them know of your interest. It would be great to not have to buy & load otherwise unnecessary software just for the 1 program. Let your voices be heard. As a general rule, Duxbury has been very responsive in my interactions with them in the past. If there is enough of an interest, perhaps they will see the value & could be convinced to offer Duxbury on the MAC platform once again.<br>
Best wishes,<br>Eric V<br><br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;color:blue;font-family:'Comic Sans MS'">Hi
everyone,<br>I just purchased a mac laptop & would like to run Duxbury on
it. I would like to run Mac & Windows side-by-side.<br>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.<br>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.<br>Any similar experiences? Any
suggestions?<br>Respectfully,<br>DrV</span></p><br><a href="http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/" target="_blank"><i></i></a>
