Good morning-
There was discussion yesterday
about not getting the right to use OS 9 on a Mac if you bought the newest
version of OS X version 10.2. Below is what I found out from a couple of
different Apple people. With the 10.2 "Jaguar" purchase, you do still
receive downgrade rights. But, you must have the media as 10.2 does NOT
ship with OS 9 on a separate CD as it has in the past.
Have a great day!!!

Jeremy,
The Apple person is
correct. You buy Jaguar (v10.2) and you also get back wards licensing
rights, including OS 9.x. While we would like you to stay with OS X, you
can downgrade to 9.

Sorry
to bother you again. Just had a meeting with all of our local tech
coordinators, and one said he had heard that when you purchase "Jaguar," you
do not get the rights to install an older version of OS (ex. 9.x or 8.6) on
the machine you purchased that upgrade for. I just talked to a gentleman
at Apple and he said that was not the case. He claimed "Jaguar"
does not come with a separate install CD for OS 9.2.2, but you still have the
rights to downgrade to any OS you purchase that upgrade for.
Our situation is that we have original iMacs
running system 8.1, and we are running a program in which the newest version
requires system 8.6 or higher. We have all of the install CD's we need,
we are just looking to be legal and legit. What is your take on this,
and is there something in writing somewhere we can keep on file here, and I
can share with my fellow tech coordinators to explain our option or
rights?
Again, any help would be appreciated. Have
a great evening!!!
Jeremy

Jeremy,
Yes, there is new pricing. I
know that Jerry has been pre-occupied with his father’s recent passing a few
weeks back.
Attached is the current Apple Software Price
List.
Cheers!

Getting
ready to purchase some OS upgrades, and had a quick question. With
Jaguar being out, is there a new SKU for the OS finished goods? Here
is what the web site currently lists:
M8545LL/B Mac OS X 10.1.3 Finish
Good* Iowa Price $59
M8550LL/B Mac OS X 10.1.3
Install CD Iowa Price
$15
*
Mac OS X Finished Good includes Mac OS 9.2
I want
to make sure I get the most recent upgrade, so any help would be
appreciated. Let me know if there are new sku's and prices for the
newest OS upgrades.
Thanks
for your time!!!
Jeremy
