Microsoft Office for Mac Compatibility

Product	Minimum macOS
Office 2024 Home & Business for Mac	macOS Monterey (12) or later
Office 2021 Home & Business for Mac	macOS Catalina (10.15) or later
Office 2019 Home & Business for Mac	macOS Sierra (10.12) or later — works on Big Sur

If you have an older Mac running Big Sur or earlier, Office 2019 is usually the safest choice.

Autodesk Products on Mac

Autodesk products such as AutoCAD are available for Mac. After your licence is assigned to your Autodesk account, you can download the Mac version from the Autodesk website.

For system requirements for specific Autodesk products, visit the Autodesk System Requirements page.

Please note that not all Autodesk products are available on Mac. Products such as Revit and Inventor are Windows only.

Windows Products

Windows product keys and Windows-only software (such as Office Professional Plus for Windows, Revit, or Inventor) will not work on a Mac unless you are running Windows through a virtualisation tool such as Parallels or Boot Camp.

Not Sure?

If you are unsure whether a product is compatible with your system, contact our support team with your macOS version and the product you are interested in, and we will advise you.
