Hello
I have a farming simulator 2015 disk but on the back it says OS: Windows Vista/Windows 7 / Windows 8. I had a windows PC but now i have a mac. I am wondering whether I can install it on my mac - some websites say i can some not.
If not is there a way i can.
I don't really want to pay again and don't want to partition my hard drive to half run windows.
My Mac has all the other specs like 2.5GHZ intel i5 when i need a minimum of intel 2GHZ, 8 GB RAM, HD Graphics, Lots of hard disk space, a plug in 2x Drive and Internet Connection. My only concern is the OS
Thanks In Advance

Re: How to get farming simulator on mac when you have disc for windows
Sadly no, it is not possible because OS X uses a .dmg file, whereas Windows uses an executable file (a.k.a. ".exe"). You will have to buy FS15 again sadly.
Maybe you could try some of these options: https://www.google.com/#q=.exe+to+.dmg+conversion

Re: How to get farming simulator on mac when you have disc for windows
If the disc came with a product key you should be able to use that to download the game from Giants website in the correct format.
If you don't have a product key, try emailing Giants directly and explain, they should be able to help.

Sorry, but this will not work. The keys for the DVD version and the Download version are different, therefore it is not possible to use the key from the DVD version to download the game from the Giants eShop.Hairy Bob wrote:If the disc came with a product key you should be able to use that to download the game from Giants website in the correct format.

@Clevprof: you either would have to instal Windows on your Mac via Bootcamp or you need to buy the Mac version of the game to be able to ply it again.

Sorry, since I don't work for Giants I can't tell. Only way to find out would be to contact them directly: http://www.farming-simulator.com/contac ... country=us#Clevprof wrote: That's a shame, is there anything that Giants could do if I contacted them?
