You can run BESA Research on the Mac by means of a Windows emulator.
There are several systems available:
- Open source software
- Commercial software
M-chip support
If you use Mac with ARM-based processors (Apple silicon) and BESA License Key older than 3.0 some special configuration is needed for the license handling:
- Install the latest Mac drivers for HASP that you can find here
- Attach the dongle to the Mac (not a virtual machine)
- Go to Virtual machine, after installing BESA product, you can use it. The license shall be automatically detected (you are using network license hosted by Mac)
Parallels Desktop for Mac
BESA Research runs with Parallels. However, it must not be run in the so-called "Coherency mode". This will lead to a crash. Outside this mode, BESA Research works.
You may experience some glitches in the source analysis 3D visualization. To solve it:
- Make sure that the virtual machine is shut down (Actions > Shut Down). If it is in a suspended state, please run it and then shut down (Actions > Shut Down).
- Go to the virtual machine configuration (see: https://kb.parallels.com/117287 ) and click "Hardware > Boot Order > Advanced Settings".
- Paste the following text: video.gl3=2 and press OK
- Start Windows virtual machine
VMWare Fusion
BESA Research runs with VMWare Fusion.
