Installing Desktop on Mac (not supported)

Dataedo does not natively support macOS at the moment. If you don't have access to a Windows machine, there are two main ways you can run Dataedo:

Parallels - you run Dataedo desktop on Mac using Parallels app. The whole process is easy to set up and doesn't require almost any IT administration knowledge.
Virtual Machine - you can install Windows in a virtual machine using VMware or similar software. This method provides the best compatibility, but you will have to run a copy of Windows in the background.
Cloud Windows machine - you can use a cloud-based Windows machine (e.g., from Amazon EC2) to run it.

Running Dataedo Desktop on Mac with Parallels

Go to https://www.parallels.com/products/business/ and install the app by either starting a free trial or buying a license.
Download and open Install Parallels Desktop.dmg.
Now click Install Parallels Desktop in the installation window.
You may be asked if you are sure to open this file. Select “Open”.
In the next step, give the installer access to the folder it’s in.
You should be able to see that Parallels started the installation process.
Next, accept the Software License Agreement.
Then provide the password to your Mac and click “Done”.

After completing all the previous steps, you should see the “Parallels Desktop Permissions” screen. Click “Next” to move forward.
In this step, Parallels asks you for access to Desktop, Downloads, and Documents folders. Allow all of them by clicking “OK”.
When it’s done you can select “Finish”.

When Parallels permissions are set up you need to sign up or sign in to your Parallels account.
After reading the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy select “Continue” and then “I Accept”.

Next, you need to install Windows using Parallels by clicking “Install Windows”. You need to provide a Windows license key as Parallels Desktop does not come with a Windows license, so you need to buy that separately. You can purchase a license directly from the Microsoft’s website: Windows Pro, Windows Home.
Parallels may ask you for some additional permissions like access to the camera or microphone. It doesn’t matter from Dataedo’s perspective what you select here.
