Vectric cut3d for MAC?

Post by jram »

Hello All,
I have a Mac and the downloaded version of Vectric cut 3d does not work for me. It does not specify what operating system is is for and I can't seem to find any information regarding a version for MAC. Any help is appreciated.

Hello,

All of our software is written for the Microsoft Windows 32 and 64 bit platforms.
All of our software runs equally well on full versions on Windows XP (SP3), Vista, 7, 8 & 8.1 (both 32 bit and 64 bit editions).
However whilst I understand that some users use the software on some emulated platforms, such as Parallels,
I am afraid that this is not something that we do here, so we are unable to support these configurations.

For more information on the minimum computer requirements to run Vectric products,
please see the following FAQ.

jram,
I run Aspire on my iMac 21.5 inch mid 2011 using parallels desktop as Adam mentioned and it works very well for me. Since I already had a copy of Windows all I needed was Parallels.
The install and setup was very easy, although I do work on computers for a living and I have experience in both Mac and Windows platforms.
The cost of parallels is about $80 and windows 8.1 is about $119 for the full version.
You can find more information at www.parallels.com.
Hope this helps.

jram,
I've been using Aspire on MacBooks for the past 3 years using VMware with Windows XP and Win7. I've had absolutely no issues.
