Please note this feature isn’t supported by the inFlow team<\/em><\/h4>\n

inFlow On-Premise only runs on Windows, but there are some ways to access a Windows environment from other machines. Please keep in mind that this will require you to have a copy of Windows for use on your device.<\/p>\n\n

For Mac OSX<\/h2>\n

You may try using the Bootcamp<\/a> tool included with Mac OS X Leopard to boot into Windows from your computer. You might also consider Parallels<\/a> to run a virtual copy of Windows from within Mac OS. In both cases, you can then install and run inFlow in the Windows environment.<\/p>\n

Note that if you do use Parallels to run inFlow, and you would like to use multi-user mode, sometimes it may not work due to the way Mac sets up it’s network settings.\u00a0Please see this guide<\/a> for more information on how you can try to fix this.<\/p>\n\n

For Linux<\/h2>\n

We suggest dual-booting<\/a> Windows and Linux. You may also run a Windows Virtual Machine using software like VMWare<\/a>. (We have not tested running inFlow using the Wine software on Linux.)<\/p>\n\n

For iPad \/ Android \/ Windows tablets<\/h2>\n

The new series of Pro tablets running full versions of Windows 8 or Windows 10 can run inFlow. That’s discussed in a little more detail on our blog here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s also possible to run inFlow on a Windows PC where remote desktop has been enabled (steps can be found for Windows XP<\/a>, Vista<\/a>, Win 7<\/a>, or Win 8<\/a> by following these links), and then use an app\u00a0to remotely control the PC from the tablet.<\/p>\n

We have informally tested this on an iPad, and felt that inFlow worked surprisingly well. Having this mobility would let you take orders on the go, impress people in a meeting, or walk around a warehouse while checking the expected stock levels. However, there were some issues with text getting cut off and we felt that typing was less convenient than when using a keyboard and mouse. The performance was reasonably good under a WIFI LAN connection.<\/p>\n\n

For\u00a0mobile phones<\/h2>\n

We have not yet tested this environment, but similar to the tablet section above, it should be possible to remotely control a PC running inFlow with your smartphone. We would not recommend this for day-to-day usage though as the screen on any smartphone is quite a bit smaller than would be ideal for accessing the program.<\/p>\n\n
