![]() ![]() ![]() That worked because it was cross-platform software, FileMaker Pro 5 FileMaker licenses are not platform specific and I forget if the installers were readily available from FileMaker but we also had Windows-using groups so we had them anyway.Ĭurtis Wilcox wrote: “Only OS X Snow Leopard Server, not regular Snow Leopard, has language in its license that permits running it as a guest OS” I haven’t booted it in almost three years because I haven’t had to but also because its performance was terrible, much worse than various Windows operating systems.Īt work, rather than try to keep Snow Leopard around to use Rosetta to run a PowerPC application (on an old machine dedicated to that purpose or using Snow Leopard Server in a VM), I made a Windows VM for the one person in the group who really needed the application and installed the Windows version of it. I’ve installed Snow Leopard Server as a guestOS in Virtualbox. As far as I know, all the VM tools try to enforce this licensing to stay in Apple’s good graces but I assume they can’t be 100% successful. Only OS X Snow Leopard Server, not regular Snow Leopard, has language in its license that permits running it as a guest OS within virtual machine software like VMWare Fusion, Parallels or Virtualbox (and the host hardware still has to be a Mac). I found an article about Fusion and SL but it was an older version.
