CO creates a virtual Windows environment for the Windows applications to operate under, without having to have a Windows licence or have a Windows operating system installed.ĬrossOver differences versus virtual machines or dual booting: ĬrossOver is not a free software the trial version is 14 day free fully functioning with no restrictions. What is CrossOver (or I refer to as ‘CO’)? This is a software program developed by Codeweavers ( ), which allows Mac and Linux users to run Windows software on a Mac or Linux environment. In my case I am using Mac OS 10.10.1 with Crossover 14.6 in full trial mode. This document is not a thorough and complete understanding of the capabilities or limitations of CrossOver. The process or steps I describe in this post are not the only way to install Windows applications into CrossOver. I had to peruse the CrossOver wiki and support areas in order to understand what needed to be accomplished for unsupported applications to work.ĭisclaimer: I am not affiliated with either CrossOver, Sanderson Forensics or any other product developer mentioned in this article. I apologize in advance for the lengthy read but please take the time to read everything and understand the concepts. This article is related to running Sanderson SQLite Forensic Toolkit on a Mac OS X system. In Revision 2, I have added a small section, to highlight the importance of understanding SQLite databases and using SQLite tools in order to analyze the information contained within SQLite database files. Revision 1 of this article was initially published on Januon Sanderson Forensics Forum.
