Yes, you need one. Your installation of OS X is tied to your Apple ID, and any updates to it require that Apple ID. This policy may change, but as far as I know, it hasn't yet. Technically, this is no different from Windows; Microsoft uses validation to check that your copy of Windows is valid and legal, and if it detects a pirated version, it won't update anything. An Apple ID is simply Apple's way of verifying the legality of your OS X installation. > On Aug 28, 2015, at 9:23 PM, Singing Sparrow <[email protected]> wrote: > > Ok, so i would need a apple id to get any software updates then?
