From: john coz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Question: am I free to install, say, Jaguar on the used machine, even though my Jaguar OS was "linked" to my current machine before I upgraded to Panther? Or could I even install the same copy of Panther on both machines?
The bottom line is, I will offer less for the used machine if I will need to by another copy of OS 10.xx.
The license on OS X makes this clear: you are allowed to install it on only one machine.
I might suggest that you ask Apple about upgrading your Panther to the "family pack," which is a license for Panther (no need for new discs) to be installed on up to five machines and costs about the same as two copies. I imagine that they would let you "upgrade" to this for just the difference between what you paid for Panther already and what the cost is, though I could be wrong about that.
Apple does not employ "activation" or other tricks to physically prevent you from installing Panther on both machines, but it *is* illegal and acts as a disincentive to Apple to offer reasonable pricing on their OS.
