Old AC 6 key on a Mac

[stefanc]

I've tried a search and cannot seem to find this out - it's a bit "out there" that I'm even attempting this - but -

I have an old copy of AC 6 and also 6.5 that have what I am assuming are windows based parallel port keys - Does anyone know if there is any adaptor that would run these on a Mac with USB (either an intel machine or a G4-- and either OSX or OS 9)? I just want to do it - hopefully - just because I can!

Or?????

Edit - Oh and as an aside, I'm pretty sure there is no way to get it/them to run on my current codemeter key...

There are many ways this does not work. The Windows key will not work with Mac (didn't back then either). ArchiCAD 6 and 6.5 ran in the old pre OSX Mac system and would only run on PowerPC based OSX macs in emulation mode, so no chance AFAIK to get them going on an Intel Mac.

Your best bet if you really need to do this would be to see if you can get a working circa ten year old PC on eBay or something. They're probably worth about $20 these days.
