Nothing worked when I tried Crossover Mac 6.2.1.

Got it partially working with Crossover Games 7.0.0.

Tried again with Crossover Games 7.1.0.
Installs fine.
Must use Windows GDI for rendering.
No dynamic rotation capability.

Zip, zero. Nothing at all.

Tried Crossover Pro 8.0.0.

Looks like it has to be in an XP bottle.
Must use Windows GDI graphic engine.
No dynamic rotation capability.

Note, if installed as full version, it will not default to demo mode when it can't find a dongle. Also have not tried to see if dongle will even work. Nor have I tried nodelocking it. No plans to try these until the demo version can at least do dynamic rotation.

Tried Crossover Games 8.1.4. No joy at all.
