Hi guys,
I got the activation key for SMARTPLS
However, I have one problem.
Since I have MAC, and when I try to open SmartPLS. exe.
It shows ""Parallels Desktop was not found."
Does it mean SmartPLS can't run on MAC???
Thanks.

SmartPLS 2 does not run on MAC. However, SmartPLS 3 does run on MAC if you download the MAC Version.

Thanks.
That's what I thought.
However, I am not able to afford SMARTPLS 3.
Also, SmartPLS 3 student edition only allow 100 data entry.
My data is over 100,so that's a problem for me.
That's why I choose to download SmartPLS 2 which has unlimited data sample size.
Any suggestion?
Thanks.

Why don't you use SmartPLS 2 on a coputer device with Windows operating system?

Besides, SmartPLS 3 PRO is currently free - just press on the purchase button.

It seems like SmartPLS Pro can't work on MAC as well.....
Also, my Mac currently don't have extra software to run windows system..><
I have to buy related software like Parallels..
Just try to save money first....
Tks anyway!

SmartPLS 3 (Professional and Student) DOES work on MAC OSX. Usually out of the box. Please open a support request if you have installation problems!
