|
|
What license types are supported using this configuration ?
ALL license types have been found to run successfully on an Intelbased Mac using virtualization software. This includes node-locked, dongle-managed, adn concurrent licenses. |
|
Why can't I paste the license text from the web page into the Origin dialog ?
Note that the shortcut keys for copy and paste are different for Mac (cmd+c and cmd+v) and for Windows (ctrl+c and ctrl+v). If you copied the license text from browser running on Mas OS using cmd+c, should use ctrl+v to paste the text into Origin dialog. |
|
Can I paste an origin graph to Word as an OLE embedded object ?
If you are running Word for Mac, then the pasted object is treated only as an image and you cannnot double-click the image to open the Origin project. If, on the other hand, you are running Word on the Windows partition, then you can OLE-paste your graph from Origin into Word. |
|
How do I exchange files between Mac and Windows ?
Just drag-and-drop the file between the Mac and the Windows partitions! the virtual machine creates a copy when a file is dragged and dropped in either direction; You could thus easily open an OPJ by dragging adn dropping the file from a Mac folder right into Origin workspace. Similary, you can export a graph from Origin to a folder in the Windows partition and then drag-and-drop the exported file to a Mac application for publication purposes. |
