Flexi Subscription and Gerber on a Mac?

[paul luszcz]

Does anyone know if Flexi subscription runs on a Mac? If so, does it need Windows running on a Mac or will it run natively or on a browser?

Does it support Gerber plotters (HS15+ and Envision 375) and Gerber printers (Edge LE and Edge II)?

We accidentally turned on Windows updates and now our 2001 PC won't boot. We've spent all the time we can afford to get it working (Thank you Microsoft) and don't want to put any money into this antique machine.

Otherwise have to buy a new Windows PC or add Windows to one of our Macs, then upgrade Gerber Omega to add support for USB to Serial and Parallel adapters. This will cost at least $2000, so a $50/month subscription has a lot of benefits.

It will not run natively on Mac OSX. It may run in a virtual Windows installation, but isn't supported that way.

Oddly Gerber says their software will run on a Mac. I guess I better check to see if they mean using Boot Camp or Parallels.

The same question would apply to Flexi. If it's not supported using Parallels, is it supported running Boot Camp?

Does anyone know if it supports Gerber devices? If not, the other questions are moot.

Also, didn't Flexi start as a Mac program? Do they still offer a Mac version?

Boot Camp would be your best bet for Flexi. There is not a Mac version anymore.

I think Omega is OK using Parallels.
