      Yes you can.

      But like Brian says you will need to run windows on bootcamp or use a third party like Parallels. This will create a virtual machine on your MacBook Pro and you can run windows through it and then install Phoenix.

        I'm running Pheonix on my MacBook Pro through Paralells on Windows 7, works great but I would make sure to have plenty of Ram so that you have enough for the Windows side and also to run your OSX at the same time, the more ram the better at least 8 gig anyway.

          Are you running parallels 10 ?

              Ive been using Phoenix for a few years on Mac book pro.
              I have Windows 7 on a Bootcamp partition. Having Win7 is also useful for the FBL set up and updating programs such as the BeastX + Vbar +Castle Creations ect ect. Phoenix works fine.

                  Davie did you get my text?

                  Phoenix doesn't take much, about 1GB from memory. I'd say for Windows + swap files etc + phoenix and any other apps, a good 40GB should suffice.
