That’s Rights! +EasyRoyalties on Apple Mac
That’s Rights! and EasyRoyalties are PC-based applications and require a Microsoft Windows environment.
For Mac users who want to use That’s Rights! or EasyRoyalties, the following options are available:
OPTION 1 Use a ‘virtual PC’ application on your Mac
Virtual Windows applications for Mac allow you to install and run Windows-based software directly on your Mac desktop, without having to reboot.
Commercially-available virtual Windows applications for Mac include: Parallels Desktop for Mac, VMWare Fusion, and others. (In addition to the virtualisation application, a licence is required for Microsoft Windows. Check the virtual Windows application requirements and/or consult your IT administrator for more information).
Limitations: That’s Rights! or EasyRoyalties running in a virtual Windows environment on your Mac won’t be able to communicate directly with your Mac-side Microsoft Office applications. If you want to use Office-integration features in That’s Rights!/EasyRoyalties, you will need to install an additional copy of MS Office applications within your virtual Windows environment as well. These TR/ER features include: importing from Excel spreadsheets (though importing from CSV is available without Office), and mail-merge functions that generate Word documents and Outlook email messages.
OPTION 2 Provide Mac users with server-based remote Windows desktops
With this solution, you provide your Mac users with virtual Windows environments running on a Windows (or “terminal”) server. Users connect to their virtual desktop via their Macs (or other devices – even from other Windows PCs), and That’s Rights! and EasyRoyalties are installed in these virtual Windows environments.
This option requires additional equipment, but if you already have a Windows server set up in your network, this is likely the most appropriate solution. In addition to offering the Mac users a fully-functional Windows environment for using That’s Rights!/EasyRoyalties, this solution also offers all users (Mac and PC) a means of accessing the shared TR/ER database via a remote connection.
Consult your IT administrator for more information.
OPTION 3 Our Hosted Windows Desktop Service
We provide Hosted Windows Desktop Services through a UK-based partner for That’s Rights! and EasyRoyalties customers who would like a remote Windows solution without having to maintain it themselves.
This solution is based on the same technology as option 2 above, only in this case we provide the remote Windows platform for you – no additional hardware or software infrastructure is required on your part. Our service includes a complete Windows desktop ‘in the cloud’, with That’s Rights!/EasyRoyalties already installed.
Please contact us for any additional information.
