Alibre atom

[Eric CoxParticipant @ericcox50497]

Just bought MEW to get the Alibre Atom only to find it doesn't run on a mac. Bummer, any chance of a refund.

Whip it back to the Apple Store and see what they say.

His post reads as he wants a refund on MEW. Shirley wouldn’t have paid for software that will not work!

Been plenty of posts on here saying what it will and won't work with and system requirements.

You can always run it in a virtual machine on your Mac

I run a Windows 10 virtual machine under VirtualBox for apps that have no alternative on a Mac – Visio (no Mac version or real equivilent) and Golden Records (Archery records system – Windows only) being 2 of them.

VirtualBox is free from Oracle, and the Windows 10 license I bought second hand on Ebay for about £2.00 from a decomissioned machine.

You have your licence, and as Zebethyal says there are legitimate routes to running W10 on a Mac.
