10.6.8 Server on VMware Running FHMX

Post by r0gue »

I'm having problems running Freehand on my VMware 10.6.8 server.

The icon bounces and goes away never runs the program. I have been running this way for well over a year now and recently had reinstall my server. Now I know this exists from reading everything I can.... https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/pol ... error.html

But i cant get a dialog box to open that give me a chance to put in that serial code. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I'm not sure but I think this registration file still applies to stop the bouncing:

Do you have an internet connection via VMWare? If you don't that may be the problem.

FH will install using CrossOver

Post by cubanpete »

Hi! Your post is a month old, but anyway, just to let you know:
Freehand MXa for Windows (downloaded from this site) will install nicely using:
CrossOver Version 16.2 (16.2.0.30219) (on Sierra 10.12.4) and everything seems to work well.
Hope this helps you. Please post a reply if you have success with this. Thanks

Good to hear. Would you mind posting a screenshot of FreeHand running on your Crossover v.16 installation?
I have it running on Crossover v.14.
