VIs- as part of you VM (unless you want to backup a multi GB blob every day as part of your Time Machine routing - the VM comes as a humongous file that you will probably want to exclude from your backup routine and only save every now and then - typically before an upgrade), but instead, take advantage of the ability to share data between your VM and the Mac. Which brings me to the most important advice (independently of the upgrade step): do not save critical data - e.g. Thus, do not upgrade to the newest version until after careful monitoring of their forums, as my experience has been that it can sometimes completely fail and corrupt your VM. There are some additional perks coming with the subscription version (including updates, and a la LabVIEW, the corresponding bug fixes).īe warned that their support is nowhere close to NI's, which is a problem when something fails badly (and it will, potentially). This is a problem when you have a multicore machine and you end up limited to only a few. As far as subscription vs none, there used to be limitations to the one-of version in terms of number of cores and max RAM (this might have changed, but I don't think so). It works but it also hurts (more on this below). I have been using Parallels for a long time.
