    There is no RPM edition for the Mac.  You would have to run a virtual machine with Windows on the Mac to run your existing RPM.

    You need to purchase, and install, a Virtual Machine (VM) on your Mac.  Parallels, VMWare and Fusion are examples. Then you need to purchase a copy of Windows, and install that inside the VM environment, THEN finally, you can install Q RPM inside that copy of Windows.

    2 alternative virtual machine software not mentioned also include CrossOver which does not require you to buy Windows, or VirtualBox, which is free, though you still need to purchase a Windows license. OR you can use the transfer function with these VMs and transfer your Windows harddrive and license for free.

    I have not tried these last 2 products, so you will need to investigate to see how well they work to support QW2014.

    Crossover does not universally support Windows apps so you'll need to check carefully on that one.  Don't know much about VirtualBox but I think you need to be a little techy to configure it correctly.  

    Parallels and Fusion have lots of options but for the non-tech you can pretty much install it with all the defaults and be just fine.  Both have the ability to move your entire hard drive from your old PC to the Mac.  I've never used that so can't comment on it - contact the vendor if you are interested.  I have run QWin in Parallels for several years.

    I use virtualbox on a Windows PC, so the comparison may not be even, it wasn't hard to setup.
