Does ZEMAX Run on a Macintosh?

ZEMAX will run on Intel-processor based Macs running Windows XP via either Boot Camp or Parallels Desktop. A USB key is needed as Macs do not have parallel ports. As long as XP is running normally, ZEMAX will install and run using the normal installation procedure. Note that ZEMAX Development Corporation cannot provide support on installing BootCamp, Parallels Desktop or Windows XP on your Macintosh computer. For more information, please see the Knowledge Base article, “How to Run ZEMAX on an Intel-based Macintosh computer”.
