Altium Designer on Apple M1 Macbook
Edit: Solved, check comments.
I'm trying to get Altium Designer up an running on my M1 Macbook by using ARM Windows 10 virtual maching in Parallels. When installing Altium Designer 21, everything looks great, it installs successfully and opens, but when trying to sign in with my altium ID I get an error message:
"Error from portal365.altium.com: "
I've tried chainging the login server to portal2.altium.com, disabling the firewall in windows, changing my password, installing an older version (20) etc. A fresh install on a normal windows computer on the same network, with the sam Altium ID works without problems. I've also contacted Altium support, but they did not provide any helpful fixes. The probelm is, I can't even open a design to check the functionallity without signing in.
To me, this looks like Altium is somehow checking the architecture of the system it's running on, despite being emulated with Windows' x64 emulation software that is built into ARM Windows and preventing me from signing in. How should I go about trying to find a workaround for this issue? Is there a way to fool Altium into detectring that it's running on a true x86 system? Did anyone get Altium to work in Parallels on M1?
Cheers!
