Apparently, Calman doesn’t work on Macs with Apple Silicon after all, though Bram Desmet (CEO, Flanders Scientific) says this configuration works for him in both Calman and ColourSpace: M2 Max. Sonoma 14.1.1. Parallels for Mac. Windows 11.
Calman announced on back on Oct. 5, 2023:
“While there are Apple Silicon specific versions of VMWare Fusion and Parallels, they rely on an ARM-specific build of Windows that lacks comprehensive driver support, impacting several devices Calman interfaces with. At this time Calman must be used on Windows-based PC.”
VMWare Fusion 13.5, released just weeks after Calman’s notice, received a major overhaul:
- Download and install Windows 11 on the latest Macs with ease.
- VMware Tools on Windows 11 for ARM
- Drag-Drop, Copy-Paste, DirectX 11 Graphics, Autofit display and more on Macs with Apple silicon.
- Full 3D Acceleration on Windows 11 for Arm
- Play games and run apps with DirectX 11 graphics, smoothly rendered with Metal graphics acceleration.
- Automation Improvements for Windows 11 and other VMs with TPM
- vmrest REST API now supports power operations on encrypted VMs like Windows 11.
- Enhanced security-
- New encryption features, libraries and techniques.
… and many more!
VMWare Fusion is free software, so you could always give it a try before investing in a second laptop.
