I may need to run OOTP6 (if I can of course) in a Mac, does anyone know if this is able to work??

thanks

I'm fairly sure you cannot, but never had a __c myself so can't speak from experience

You can not run OOTP6 natively on a Mac. It's just not written for it. You could run the program within VirtualPC, but the problem then becomes the eLicense, which doesn't work with VirtualPC. People have posed the idea of doing an offline license, but I don't recall anybody ever posting any success stories doing so.

There is the possibility that OOTP7 will be available for the Mac, since Markus now has access to the SI code base, and Championship Manager is available on the Mac...but that's up to Markus, ultimately.
