Answer

Our software does not run native on a Mac, but you can run it if you bought an Intel Mac and run Windows on your Mac using virtualization software.

We recommend Parallels Desktop for Mac, which is very easy to set up and enables you to switch between Mac and PC apps without even knowing that one is running under Windows. You can learn more at the link below.

Another great option is VMWare Fusion. You can learn more at the link below.

MacTech did a comparison that showed Parallels offers better performance. You can read about the entire side-by-side comparison test at this link:

You will also need a copy of Windows as part of the installation. If you do not already own a licensed copy of Windows that you can use then you can purchase a copy from Parallels during checkout on their website or on Amazon.com. If you order from Amazon.com, please make sure you are ordering the most recent versions of Parallels, Fusion and Windows 7.

These are supported configurations, but please note that they will only work on an Intel Mac. Otherwise you would need to use it on your old PC or one at work, a friend's house, etc.
