Running Legacy on a Mac..

We have 1,000’s of Legacy users running Legacy on a MAC. With that said, currently Legacy is a Windows program.

We currently do not have a “MAC” version of Legacy that will install without the aid of an emulator or Windows installed.

Current version of Legacy and earlier versions will run on a Mac with an Intel chip and Parallels, VirtualBox, VM Ware Fusion or Bootcamp installed along with Windows.  There are a few known problems with Legacy on a Mac including an unrecognized media path message each time Legacy is started, but if you click the error, it opens Legacy just fine.  If you do have a problem with Legacy on a Mac and this problem is caused by the Windows emulator or the Mac we here at Legacy support may not be able to help as we do not support Mac.

Legacy will work with CrossOver, but it only has a bronze rating which means there are some issues, for example the maps will not display. Legacy will also run with Parallels and Windows installed but brings up an unrecognized media path message each time Legacy is started, but once you click the error, it opens Legacy just fine.

Need help on "How to change a Virtual Machine path into a drive letter?" go to our KB article for help http://support.legacyfamilytree.com/article/AA-00975

LINUX: Currently there is no version of Legacy for a Ubuntu/Linux system. This is something we may consider for the future. In the meantime, Legacy runs on Ubuntu/Linux with CrossOver software or VMWare or Sun's Virtual Box installed. For more information please see the Ubuntu forum at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=452675 (requires registration).  There are a few known problems with Legacy on a Linux machine including an unrecognized media path message each time Legacy is started, but if you click the error, it opens Legacy just fine.  If you do have a problem with Legacy on a Linux machine and this problem is caused by the Windows emulator or the Linux machine we here at Legacy support may not be able to help as we do not support Linux.
