Re: Can Flare run on a Mac?
I can't answer your question, but I suggest you also ask the MadCap Sales team. I have found them very helpful, and if it might result in a sale I'm sure they will do their utmost to help you.
Started as a newbie with Flare 6.1, now using Flare 2023.

Re: Can Flare run on a Mac?
1. No.
2. Yes. I and many others run it on Windows on VMWare without problem. Others do the same on Parallels, although I've heard from some that Parallels doesn't play so well with .NET.
3. Yes. You'll need TortoiseSVN in order to do those things that Flare is not programmed to do, such as create branches and tags and even set up an initial folder structure (trunk, tags, branches) in the repository.

RETIRED, but still fond of all the Flare friends I've made. See you around now and then!

Thanks, Nita. MadCap Sales (Mike McDermott) was very helpful, and it appears that VMware Fusion is the best answer.

Re: Can Flare run on a Mac?
I am now running Flare successfully on a Mac under VMware Fusion. Basically, it's a non-issue.
Thanks for the help.
