Questions
Does it work on Windows?
Yes, through WSL 2. See the install guide for the libraries it needs.
Can I use one license on two computers, or twice at once?
One license works on one device and runs in one Apex at a time. Apex instances you start inside that Apex all count as that one. If you sign in somewhere else, close Apex on the first device and wait up to a minute.
Does it work on Mac?
No. Apex is built for x86-64 Linux, and Windows through WSL.
Where do I find what a function does?
In the function reference. Search by any name.
