In any event whatever remains of that long forgotten debate is now mostly moot since Apple reduced the sales price of Snow Leopard Server by 95% (by telephone orders only 1.800.MYAPPLE (1.800.692.7753) - Apple Part Number: MC588Z/A) that is, for the same $20 as it sells Snow Leopard client and it is much easier to install, use and maintain Snow Leopard Server in virtualization, including Parallels. That myth has been debunked in the 3-1/2 years since Lion was first released and repeating it now does not make anything "clearer" but only tends to confuse an OP. Installing Snow Leopard Server into Parallels for DUMMIES:ģ) It was a common myth that the Snow Leopard EULA prohibited its virtualization in Lion and thereafter on a Mac. This may also be a different problem for the OP, as cost appears to be a major consideration here.Ģ) The use of Snow Leopard Server in Parallels will cost about $99 retail (less, if some shopping for "discounts" on Parallels is done on the internet). So of course the user is subject to the risk of hardware failure without necessarily much warning and little or no recourse (other than purchasing another older Mac) when the hardware does fail.
The new 2014 Mac mini will not run 10.9.5 either, the 'oldest' version the 2014 model will run is 10.10, it will of course also run 10.10.1.ġ) Older Macs are just that: older and out of warranty. If you try installing the 'ordinary' 10.6.8 in to a virtual machine it will not work as they check for this. The server version of 10.6.8 can run normal applications and you do not have to use the server bits itself.
#VMWARE FOR MAC 10.6.8 LICENSE#
Just to make it clearer, 'ordinary' 10.6.8 is not allowed due to Apple's license terms to be run in a virtual machine only the 'server' version is.
#VMWARE FOR MAC 10.6.8 MAC OS X#
Other than running Mac OS X 10.6.8 Server in a virtual machine as previously suggested your next best option is to consider buying a secondhand older Mac that is capable of running 10.6.8.

If portability is an issue, obviously a Mac Pro isn't an option. If you could get the money together, something like a 2009 Mac Pro (often available from OWC) would let you run 10.6 through Yosemite.
When I was tracking those auctions, I looked for sellers nearby who could either offer local pickup or ship in the original packaging (and of course I checked feedback carefully). I imagine they are considerably cheaper now. IIRC it cost about $300 with a decent amount of installed RAM.
#VMWARE FOR MAC 10.6.8 SOFTWARE#
I acquired a nice 2006 model last year to run old software and access old files, and retired the G5 I'd been using for that. You might be able to find a 2011 model on eBay, but back when I was tracking those auctions, they didn't seem to go for bargain prices.Īn old Mac Pro with a decent amount of RAM often sells for less on eBay than a recent-vintage Mini. I haven’t upgraded the HD in mine, but I did bump up the RAM and it was a simple process.

Next Question, if you can run Windows ARM as VM on a M1 Mac, will it be possible some day to install Windows ARM NATIVELY to a Apple Silicon Mac, a la bootcamp? I think all that would be needed is a special bootloader to trick Windows ARM into thinking it is a Surface Pro or something.Refurb 2012 Minis have been cropping up pretty regularly in the online Apple Store.
There was no competition before, so Qualcomm and Microsoft had no pressure to push Windows ARM or the Surface Pro, it just had to be good enough. Ironically, because the M1 is so fast, according to some reviews, Windows ARM runs faster as a VM on a M1 Mac than it does on a Surface Pro natively. I wonder if VMware has a skunk works project going on to do the same I'm sure VMWare is watching how the Parallels experiment goes and whether consumers take to it. Even still the, it's actually quite amazing that it can be done, that a 32/64-bit Intel Windows app can run under emulation on a ARM version of Windows built for Qualcomm's ARM chip, running as a Virtual Machine on a Apple Mac with a Apple designed ARM processor. Lingering application issues, emulation of Intel, problems running older 32-bit Intel apps (under emulation). It's a proof of concept, the bigger issue is, will running the ARM version Windows satisfy people who want to run Windows on a Apple Silicon Mac, because Windows ARM still has it's own issues even on official Windows hardware like the Surface Pro. I've tried it, it works, for the most part, still a lot of work to do, but interesting. So, Parallels is showing off a Technical Preview of Parallels that can run the ARM version of Windows on Apple Silicon apps.
