Management Portal can run on OSX macOS with a few limitations. Most of these limitations are due to the fact that third party software is only available on Windows, not on OSXmacOS.

  • Microsoft Project Integration - this is a Windows only application
  • QuickBooks Desktop Integration - this is a Windows only application
  • Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Integration - this is a Windows only application
  • Invoice Template Editor - this is a Windows only application

  • Boot camp - install Windows on your Intel-based Mac and run it instead of OSXmacOS
  • Remote Desktop - remote into a Windows based PC
