Kyshakk Koan Jawaj Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 If I have the Windows version of Avernum 1-3 on CD, can they be installed on a Mac? Maybe this is a dumb question, I don't know much about Macs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Niemand Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 The short answer is no. (The longer answer is yes, if you have an Intel Mac and don't mind messing around with Wine or virtualization software, but I assume that this would be overkill for what you want.) The best solution would, I think, be to download the Macintosh versions of the games and contact Spiderweb about the registration. My guess would be that they won't mind issuing you the registration for the Mac copies, since you want to use those instead of the Windows copies you paid for. You'll assumedly need to provide them with enough information that they can match you with their records from when you bought the Windows copies, of course.

Understated Ur-Drakon Celtic Minstrel Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Yeah, I think if you've purchased the game you essentially have a "license" for both platforms. Also, SC2! That's two people with an SC2 quote in their signature now... that I've noticed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Tyranicus Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Actually, you shouldn't have a problem at all. The CDs contain both versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Celtic Minstrel Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 ...Oh, yeah, so they do. I forgot about that. Just insert the CD into your Mac, and you'll be able to install it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 That will give you the preference file as registered. You still might want to download the latest version depending upon how old the CD-ROM is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
