Hi Adinath,
I purchased a Mac M1 Max in 2022 and since than trying to install TBC on it. I had Parallels installed, but I have stopped paying for it, so I can't try your installation technics.
What I'm curious about is, can you use TBC with a Thale USB dongle for the licence? I thought the main reason of the program not installing in the first place was that Thale didn't come out with a HASP driver for ARM windows, therefore the licence dongle cannot be read.
I would love finally be able to use my Mac for work. I'm reaching the point where I migh tjust sell the MAC as it's no point having 2 laptops...
Thanks

Hi !
So this is the setup file. irrespective of the version. This setup file will have to be unpacked.
Download the 7zip unpacker from their website. link: 7-Zip
Once you install the 7zip software. Unpack the install file using 7zip. You can right click on the install file and select 7zip and then select extract here. It will take about 5 to 10 mins to unpack the install file. shown below
After 7zip has finished unpacking the setup file. You will be to see all the folders for install. Go to the TBC folder as shown below.
Inside the TBC folder, use the setup file to install the software. As shown below
Follow the install instructions and install TBC.
After TBC has been installed. Open TBC and click on support tab in the menu ribbon bar on top. Then click on check for updates. shown below
Once you click Check for updates, you will the updates dialogue box. From that select which ever supporting software you need and install it by following the onscreen update box. You can install the necessary softwares like Coordinate system manager, Feature definition manager, Convert to Rinex utility etc.
Hope it is helpful. Let me know if you come across any hurdles.

Okay guys! After weeks of persistently trying various methods, I finally got it to install on my Mac M3 and it works perfectly.
So if you try to install TBC with the regular install wizard, it doesn't install. What I did was I unpacked the TBC install file using 7zip. Once you unzip the install file, you get all the associated softwares individually in separate folders. From there I installed only TBC software as standalone. Installs perfectly without any errors. Once installed, I opened TBC and clicked on check for updates, from there I installed all the other associated softwares like coordinate manager, convert to rinex etc.
If somebody is not able to get through with it, let me know, I will post a detailed step by step procedure.

Hello,
Kindly throw some light on whether Trimble Business Centre will work on ARM Based processors. Earlier I was working with TBC on my Intel Macbook Pro via Windows on Parallels. Now, I have upgraded my MAC to the latest M3 Processors and TBC doesn't seem to install on the windows that run on this laptop now. Please help!
