Hi Matthew Rogers,
I'm just going through old posts to see if there's anything I can add, if not for the original poster but future viewers.
There have never been any plans to create MacOS versions for our software (LET, FIS etc.) and I don't believe there ever will be if I'm honest. That said, you can get them running on a Mac machine via:
Bootcamp - This requires partitioning your Mac SSD/HDD which creates a new operating system you can select on start-up/boot. I think this now works for their new M chips too, not just intel based models.
Install Windows 10 on your Mac with Boot Camp Assistant – Apple Support (UK)
Parallels - This runs windows within window within MacOS, so you effectively have two machines running at once! If I remember correctly, this method is process heavy as it's twice the OS workload without any applications running on top.
Run Windows on Mac - Parallels Desktop 18 Virtual Machine for Mac
The third option would be to purchase a windows machine. If its sole purpose was for running our software, there's plenty of cheap second hand laptops on ebay you could purchase, wipe clean (internal and external) and use.
*edit - you can also validate your ILR via SLD which is platform agnostic, a bit less capable.
Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Cheers,

Good morning all,
Would anyone happen to know if the ESFA has any plans to make FIS and PDSAT available to download on an Apple Mac?
Thanks,
Matt
