 CrossOver® Mac "Do you like buying Windows® licenses? You do? Great. You do you. For the rest of humanity, CrossOver is the easiest way to run many Microsoft applications on your Mac without a clunky Windows emulator. (Seriously, have you tried emulators? Do you like how they run on your Mac?) CrossOver works differently. It's not an emulator. It does the work of translating Windows commands into Mac commands so that you can run Windows software as if it were designed native to Mac. CrossOver works with all kinds of software - productivity software, utility programs, and games - all with one application. Faster. Better experience. No license. Simple as that."

 CXPatcher: https://github.com/italomandara/CXPatcher/releases A patcher to upgrade CrossOver dependencies and improve compatibility This is an unofficial patcher for CrossOver and CodeWeavers is not - by any means - involved in this or has anything to do with this app, and although has been tested, this software may render the app unusable or unstable, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK, this also will void any official support from CodeWeavers, If you still need support from CodeWeavers, download the original unmodified app and please don't report problems to them after your app is patched. If you have any issues after your app has been patched you can download a new copy of CrossOver.
