As of March 2013, the answer is no. You cannot run the software on your Mac computer. However, with the release of version 28, which Xactware calls 'multi platform', it looks like they may be inching closer to full Mac functionality one day in the future.The goods news is that you can use one of several Xactimate apps on your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. The apps are free to download at the Apple app store. You will need your Xactware ID and password to link everything together. Oh, and you don't need two licenses to use your software and the mobile application. Thankfully, you only need one.
