Sep 01, 2019 Epicor Eclipse is a sound piece of software that serves hard goods distributors quite well.

The only supported methods of running Solar or Eterm on a Mac:
- May 24, 2016 We are looking to implement Epicor Web Access (Epicor Everywhere) to provide Epicor access to our Mac users via the Safari browser. We are running Epicor version 9.04 with up to date patches. There will be approx 12 users on EWA. Their access will be primarily viewing (Crystal) reports as well as limited data input.
- Every day, more than 100,000 people use Epicor Distribution solutions at work. In fact, in the distribution industries we serve, more than half of all businesses run on Epicor software. We designed Prophet 21 and Eclipse to meet the complex challenges of distribution.
- Virtualization: software packages such as Parallels Desktop or VMware Fusion are designed to run a Windows workstation inside a virtual “container” on your Mac. Because the virtual environment creates a fully functional Windows workstation, all of the standard Eclipse software is compatible.
- Remote desktop: tools such as Microsoft Remote Desktop (download) or VNC allow Mac users to remotely access existing Windows workstations or servers. Because the remote environment is a fully-functional Windows workstation, all of the standard Eclipse software is compatible.
Some customers report success using the following unsupported method:

- Native Solar: because Solar is a Java-based application, it can be installed and launched on a Mac directly from your Eclipse server. It is important to note, however, that many functions that are designed to interact with other Windows software packages (Signature Capture, Close Counter Order, Document Indexer, Manifest Processor, etc.) will not function.

If you encounter an issue with the Eclipse software on a Mac, please reproduce the issue on a Windows workstation (a virtual or remote Windows environment is also acceptable) before opening a support request. Unfortunately, we are not able to provide support for Mac virtualization software or remote desktop tools, or with hardware connectivity issues (e.g. passing through a USB card reader to the virtual desktop), but we will support the Eclipse clients running within the virtual or remote Windows environment.
