While there is no DejaOffice PC CRM for Mac you can still run DPC on a Mac using a Windows install on a Virtual Machine.

Install a Virtual Machine

First you will need a Windows Install on your Mac. To do this there are different Virtual Machine Apps for the Mac. The two most popular are Parallels and Boot Camp. Note that only Parallels supports the M1 Processor so Boot Camp will only work on older Macs.

1. Install a Virtual Machine App on your Mac.
  • Click Here for information on Parallels. Parallels is a Paid program but offers more features than Boot Camp and supports the latest M1 Processor. Parallels pricing ~79.99 - 99.99.
  • Click Here for information on Boot Camp. Boot Camp is free with the Mac OS, but does not have as many features as Parallels and does not support the latest M1 Processor. Boot Camp pricing free (or 79.99 with a Windows 7 license).

Parallels offers a comparison of the features for Boot Camp vs Parallels.

Install Windows

DejaOffice PC CRM only supports Windows 7 and higher, but we do recommend Windows 11 as this is the latest version of Windows available.

  • Note: Installing a VM App does not include a license for Windows. You must buy a license to Windows separately.


Parallels does have a store which sells licenses to Windows, but it will install a trial copy of Windows 11 during the Parallels setup. During the Parallels Install simply click the "Install Windows" option to install an evaluation copy of Windows 11.

Boot Camp requires you provide your own Windows ISO file for install.
