EViews 12 University Edition runs on PC and Mac. It is $50 and lasts for 6 months, but has some storage limitations. More than sufficient for problem sets.

EViews 12 Student Version is free, but is even more restricted in what it can do. Also, it does not allow you to save your workfiles. I’ve seen reports that it is “buggy.”
