QUESTION

I am interested in purchasing Home Designer. Is the software compatible on a Mac?  


ANSWER

Yes, Home Designer 2015 and newer program versions run natively on the Mac operating system, macOS, so long as it meets the system requirements. Please view the System Requirements page as well as the Related Articles section to learn more. 

Home Designer versions 9.0 through 2014 were supported on Mac computers
using Boot Camp that otherwise met the system requirements.

Note: Running Home Designer in an emulator, or virtual machine environment, such as Parallels, VirtualBox, or VMWare Fusion, is not supported.
