OSA runs on a Windows Server so the software is made for PC. When using applications like Microsoft Office and Adobe Creative Suite, it is important to know what the Mac equivalents are to common Windows keys like "Alt," "Ctrl," and "Shift." Use the following reference to translate keys:

- Windows Ctrl Key = Mac Cmd Key
- Windows Shift Key = Mac Shift key
- Windows Right-Click = Mac Right-Click or Cmd-Click if using a one-button mouse
