    Apple / Mac running Raiser's Edge

    Reply Contact

    Is anyone running Raiser's Edge on a Mac / Apple computer (Intel based processor) ?

     

    I'd like to get recommendations for/against

    VMware Fusion

    Parallels

    VirtualBox

     

    Thank you in advance.

    I do not believe RE can be used on a Mac machine (see system requirements for RE). In the past, MAC/Apple users have always used a terminal server to access RE. I do not know if this was due to our organizational structure.

    I'm not running any Blackbaud Software on my macs, but I've setup a Parallels instalation and don't see any reason why you couldn't do it.  VMware is another great option, I've never used it b/c our organization chose Parallels, but I've read great things about VMware.

    Doing a virutal desktop option would work also, you'd have to have a Terminal Server and whatever software for you mac.

    I say give Parallels a shot...
