I have several Questions, that needs to be answered from nearly offical Site.

WebObjects is officially distributed as part of Xcode, which is included with any license of OS X.

Here's a link to the official License Agreement: 
http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/xcode.pdf

You want to look at Section 2, Paragraph D: "WebObjects Software"

The key phrase (in surprisingly clear language) is: "For avoidance of doubt, you may not distribute the WebObjects Software on a stand-alone basis, and you may not develop application programs using the WebObjects Software (or any portion thereof) on any non-Apple branded computer."

Which just means that you _must_ buy and use an Apple-branded computer for development. But, that does not mean that you have to use OS X as the Operating System.

I develop WO Applications and Frameworks under the Version 5.2. Now I want to switch to a newer version of WO. In best Case on the newest one. I think this might be 5.4.3.

The Issue is, that my old WO Application Server is running on a Unix System. I read in some forums that, Apple not longer allow to run their WO Application Servers on Unix Machines, is this true?

Since 5.3, the license allows deployment on any platform. In fact, surveys says that at least 30% of organizations are deploying on a different platform than OS X.


Also, to me it's not clear, how all this licecens agreements can fit for my case.

I have to Develop on a Windows Maschine. According to this, I work under Eclipse and WOLips. I got a WO Developer Licence for the Version 5.2. What do I have to buy to develop under 5.4.3? I read, that a Mac OS X Licence might be enough. Is this right?


In 5.4, the license was changed to say that you have to develop on Apple hardware. So you can develop in Windows if Windows is running under a virtual machine on a Mac...

Or via Boot Camp (http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/bootcamp.html). This allows you to boot the computer directly into Windows and not use OS X at all.

I prefer using OSX and virtualizing Windows, but your IT department may not like that if they are saying you must use Windows in the first place.
