Hi Mike ,
There is no way to get it running on your Imac .
Lets face it , Milton has done a fine job , building this software , I still like using it , but using also other software like Pixinsight ( 0n MAC ) .
Imaging has made a large leap forwards , the last couple years , in electronics and in software .
When Milton stopped with IIDC , I have thought buying an universal key , but i didn't , when my Macbook has end his life , the software has had its time to .
Than it will be time to make some changes . at the moment for deepsky Pixinsight is hard to beat .
Registax is great for planet and lunar editing , it has wavelets and thats a huge difference , but windows only .
My biggest problem will be my CCD camera's , Its much more reliable on a MAC .
I have made my choice by not buying the universal key , and I think that's the way to go , If you want to improve your imaging , you have to improve jour software and other gear .
Maybe its time ,
kind regards
Albert

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone in the group can help me.
I have been using the software on a couple of old Mac laptops for awhile now, and it works fine, but I wish to use it on a new iMac, just for its image processing abilities.
However, I don't have a licence to use it on the iMac, and was hoping someone would have a few ideas?
Cheerio,
Mike.
