I just got a Mac workstation, Can I run my Proseries software on the Mac? I tried to download and install previous versions that I purchased. It's not allowing it.

Per this recent question....PS & Mac do not get along:

In fact, no one in the market seems to have an interest in dumping resources to develop and maintain professional tax software that runs on Mac.  For folks who are really into Mac, they could consider the few cloud-based alternatives out there, such as PTO.

I would also refer to this article for the most up to date System requirements for the 2018 ProSeries Software

ProSeries is Windows program, so of course it won't run on a Mac operating system.

However, most likely ProSeries will run fine if you run Windows on your Mac.  There are several options, but the most common options are Parallels and Boot Camp.

Just be aware that if you have technical problems, it is quite possible that ProSeries support may not support that type of setup.
