I'm pretty positive your old PC OOTP6.5 won't work on your mac. The protection scheme for PC, elicense, doesn't work on mac so the mac uses a completely different one, esellerate or something. I don't think a mac version was ever made for OOTP6.5.

Now OOTP9 OTOH, I'm not sure, but I think you can buy a PC version and then use one of those virtual machine things like wine to play it on your mac, but if you're not going to play it on a PC then you're probably better off to just buy the Mac version.

Once you get your OOTP9 copy you can convert your OOTP6.5 league into an OOTP9 league with it. Well, I'm not sure you can use the mac version to do that conversion, but I'm thinking you can use the OOTP9 PC demo to do it and then just copy that league folder to your Mac. This I'm not sure of, just what I think you can probably do, so you should get confirmation from someone who has done it or check that it can be done.
