Note: It is your responsibility to acquire and install the number of Adobe Acrobat licenses needed for client workstations. To ensure that the Kodak plug-ins for Adobe Acrobat software can be copied into the correct folder during the installation process, install the Acrobat software on each Mac or Windows workstation before installing the Kodak plug-ins or the Prinergy Client. Evo Client is not compatible with the recent Mac OS. This causes inconvenience and Kodak has decided to offer two instances of Parallels VM and Windows 10 Pro License Keys free of charge for Evo 8.2 contract customers so they can run Evo Client on the Mac VM environment. Please follow the procedures below to acquire the license keys and install the software: - Call your local Kodak Response Center to acquire Parallels & Windows license keys.
- You'll receive two instances of Windows 10 Pro license keys from Kodak. You'll also receive an invitation email with the two instances of Parallels VM license keys and the installer download link. The Parallels key activation should be done automatically while installing Parallels VM by clicking the link in the invitation email.
- If the Parallels installer prompts you to "Allow Access and Control your Mac", choose Apple menu > System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Accessibility and select the Parallel’s checkbox.
- When you first launch Parallels Desktop on a Mac, it will detect that you have no virtual machines and will automatically offer to download and install Windows 10 Pro. See more details in Scenario 1 https://www.parallels.com/blogs/install-windows-10-parallels-desktop/
- If it doesn't direct you to the Windows 10 Pro (64 Bit International English) download link, follow Scenario 2 in https://www.parallels.com/blogs/install-windows-10-parallels-desktop/

- Turn OFF Public network firewall setting on Windows VM for Evo Client to connect to the Evo server.

Limitations: - Please mount Evo Job Volume within the PC environment and Evo Processing (Refine, output, create Imposition etc) will work as it does on Mac environment by entering the Parallels Coherence Mode.
- On the Mac laptops with Retina display, text display in the Evo Process Template Editor appears to have no space in between the lines and the font size in drop down menu looks smaller than it should be. But this does not impact functionality.
- On the Mac laptops with Retina display, you might notice the square check boxes are missing in the Preflight Profile Editor window but it will still allow you tick on and off.
