Hi

. . . .  AcidPro 10 . . . .

Did you not check the system requirements for Acid Pro 10 - it is Windows only.

There are 2 options available if you must have Acid Pro 10 run on a MAC.

1. the preferred option would be to use Bootcamp to enable dual booting and install Windows on the new partition and install the Windows version of the program you want to use, this must be a MAC that is based on Intel processor/hardware. If the notebook is based on the new M1 processor then there is no way the program can be installed and run - the program expects to see Intel hardware.
    
2. the more problematical option is to use Parallels or similar software to create a virtual machine and install Windows and the program on it. The downside of doing this is there is no guarantee that it is going to work correctly, especially if using functions that need direct access to hardware, eg ASIO with the sound card, this is not possible using Parallels which creates 'virtual hardware'.
   
   Additionally you would be running on an supported system - this could mean no support is available.
