MAC help

GiantYankee · 08-09-2013, 12:07 AM

My windows based PC died and I installed OOTP 14 on my work assigned MAC laptop (hate MACs and not an expert). Whenever I return to the game after exiting out, the main screen ask me to enter my license number every time. I use the OOTP 14 icon in the applications folder. What can I do so that it doesn't think that I have just installed the game every time I open up OOTP?

if I'm not mistaken there are two different type of files for PC and Mac. So if you bought the game for PC and it died IDT you can just simply install it on Mac with same license. I know when my PC died when I had 13 I had to email support to get my license converted over to Mac so I could install it.

hope that helps a little and good luck!

I found a solution. I'm buying another pc laptop. Can't deal with Apple products.

Can I use my PC license on Mac/Linux machine, or vice-versa? - Kayako eSupport Help Desk Software

Sorry to hear that!

Have you tried VMWare or Parallels? THere are also a number of free ones out there, VirtualBox works rather well. (I use it to run open source font editing applications via Windows 7 on both a MBP and iMac)

A good list here:
