Ok so if i bought a single user copy of osx can i install it on more then one computer or is it impossible to do so? * posted via http://www.mymac.ws * please report abuse to http://xinbox.com/mymac > Ok so if i bought a single user copy of osx can i install it on more > then one computer or is it impossible to do so? > * posted via http://www.mymac.ws > * please report abuse to http://xinbox.com/mymac Because Apple does not use an activation mechanism for its system software, you *could* install OSX on as many computers as you care to. However, it is *illegal* to install it on more than one, unless you buy the "family pack" for $200. Then, you can install it on 5 computers, legally > > Ok so if i bought a single user copy of osx can i install it on more > > then one computer or is it impossible to do so?

The "family pack" is best described as a residential site license.  SignatureThere's nothing quite like the joy of first hearing an Alvin & the Chipmunks cover of Pink Floyd's "The Final Cut." "Not Now John" is especially sublime. > Ok so if i bought a single user copy of osx can i install it on more > then one computer or is it impossible to do so? Impossible, or unethical? Another person from mymac asking how to steal software.

Charming. Possibly just oblivious. With some productss needing activation, it would not be possible. The reply re Family License covered the topic. > Ok so if i bought a single user copy of osx can i install it on more > then one computer or is it impossible to do so? It is possible, or at least has been with all previous releases of Mac OS. It is also a violation of the license agreement.
