Hello, A couple questions. I have an iMac (24-inch, Early 2009) which runs Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.8 on one partition and El Capitan OS X 10. 11.6 on another partition. I have a shrink-wrapped Mac OS X Server V10.6.3 Rev 1. Can I install the Snow Leopard server on the El Capitan partition so that I can launch and use my legacy version FileMaker Pro 8.0v3? This FMP will not launch in El Capitan. VirtualBox, Parallels And VMWare Fusion will let you install SL Server in a VM under El Capitan. <https://www.quora.com/How-do-I-install-OS-X-Snow-Leopard-on-a-virtual-machine-thats-running-on-a-MacBook-Pro> Here’s directions for VMWare <http://partnerweb.vmware.com/GOSIG/MacOSX_10_6.html> Here’s info for VirtualBox <https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Guest_OSes> This is probably the best way to go. VB is a robust VM system, and it’s free. Next year, I will buy a new iMac. I believe I cannot install the client Snow Leopard on it. Will I be able to install the Snow Leopard server? You’re correct you cannot install Snow Leopard on it; nor can you install SL Server on it, directly. You will be able to install SL Server in VB, Parallels or VMWare Fusion VM's -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
