BIDS, TEMPLATES and ARCHIVES cannot be converted between Mac and Win.
UNIT PRICE FILES can be converted

to switch unit price files:
1. export unit prices, then make a copy of the file on source computer.
2. rename it to the correct file name format for the other platform

to switch entire program: need to pay for either a site license (P&P 23) or replacement manuals (P&P 24).
