Hi Jhill

Just taken this off of the Sage website.

Sage 50 Accounts - System requirements

Network users only: 1Gbps network cards and switches with Microsoft Windows networking

Performance will be improved with higher specification computers and networks

Minimum requirements
An IBM compatible PC with 1Ghz (or equivalent) processor
512MB RAM
400MB of free disk space after Microsoft Windows has been installed

And so I guess the answer is no, but you could contact them directly and ask as they may be developing this.

Hi

I have a client who is a Mac user. He has some sort of gizmo which makes his Mac behave like a PC, thus enabling him to run Sage. I don't know off hand what it's called - I will try to find out for you.

Hi

The Mac user in question has not replied to my email, so no joy yet. I will keep trying.

Please see the link below

I had a client that wanted to do this and Sage advised that they needed to buy this software from Apple, as it makes a mac operate like a PC then you can install and run Sage.

Needless to say they stuck with a PC.

Hope that helps

The software my contact uses is called Parallels desktop. I did a quick serach on google and it seems you can buy it from a number of outlets at about £30 plus VAT.
Apparently you need to have an Intel processor in your mac to run this software.

I hope this helps
