I do however recommend that you get as much memory as you can with as fast a processor as possible as Parallels uses a huge amount of memory.” Here’s what Chris had to say: “I can vouch for Sage running in Parallels and Windows XP without a problem. You can then use Windows apps like they are native to Mac or PC. Parallels Desktop for Mac will run Windows on your Mac without rebooting.

Well, here are some options for you, and what some Mac users had to say about them.įirst and foremost since Sage 50 will only operate in a Windows environment, you have to recreate this PC environment in your Mac. Also, as of now, our Research and Development team are not presently testing on Mac systems but focused on developing integrated cloud solutions as well (more on this next blog!). Now, since Windows has close to 90 % of the desktop operating system market share*, it only makes good business sense that Sage would create a software to work with Windows. To them, this means nothing stops or slows the flow of creativity: which is reason #1 why Mac users are…well, Mac users. Most Mac users we know are artists, they love their Mac as it lets them work without worrying about performance, speed, updates and such.

Here at Sage we often get asked the following question: does Sage 50 work on a Mac? We decided to try and answer this question the best way we could with this blog. This blog is brought to you courtesy of Jean-Guy, Sage Staff Contributor
