Hi,

I've seen this same issue posted before so forgive me for repeating it but I could not find a solution that didn't require me to create my own post.

I am having an issue downloading the student version of Inspire Studio as the download only provides an .exe file which from my understanding is not compatible with Mac OSX. Additionally, in the link I followed for installation instructions, there are no instructions for "setting an environment variable" for Mac OSX.

    We sent you alternate links for the Inspire Studio supported in Mac OS X

    Apple support may have instructions on setting environment variable in Mac OS X, however you may not need to set the variable since you can also just browse to the license file in the license set up window > and click activate.

    Good morning Rahul. I just realised that there is a Mac OS X version. But the Download link sent to me downloads a .exe file (WIN). Can i have the alternative link? 

    Maybe this could be a good solution for my other problem while running Inspire with Parallels Desktop:

    Program closes sudently after clicking view results, sketch and other actions.

     

    Thanks

    The MAC version of the student edition has been discontinued except for Inspire studio, Inspire render and Thea products.

    In your other query you mention you are using Inspire (structures) which does not have a mac version.
