*Please note:  While we support running AccountManager on Notes for Macintosh be aware that this is with some limitations as follows:

1. Microsoft Office integration when running Notes for Mac is not supported.  This means things like emailing quotes, samples, design wins etc (Print Previews), Access to Reporting, Exports to excel, Importing from excel, Outlook contact sync or copy from Outlook to AccountManager is not supported and will not work.
2. Many administrative functions are limited, access to AccountManager System Configuration, access to System Maintenance is not possible to access on the Mac.

If you must access the above features we recommend running AccountManager on Notes for Windows.  On the Mac this can be accomplished with Parallels.

Prerequisites:

To install Notes and AccountManager you will need the following:

• Your Notes Username and Password
• Your Domino Servername
• Your Company’s Folder Name on the Domino server. (Hosting Customers Only)
• A downloaded copy of the Client software download file (below) 

The recommended minimum memory configuration is 8 GB of memory for MAC OS Big Sur.  The recommended optimum system configuration is Intel i7 processor, 16GB memory (more is better) and an SSD hard drive.
