Mac OS Lion - Multiple Macs 1 Payment?

Gilbert89 · 8 Aug 2011 at 00:31

Just to clear this up as Im not entirely sure. I have bought OS Lion for my iMac just curious as to would installing Lion on my MBP be illegal or far starters would this even work?

I appreciate anyones input regarding this topic. Cheers :confused:

I think you are ok to install it on any other Mac which is linked to the same App Store account (up to 5?) .... but someone else should confirm that really as it's from memory.

Yep I think 5 devices are ok with your iTunes account...

I'm reaching that limit however, owning 2 laptops, 2 ipods and and iphone.

I think they should increase the limit to 10 myself.

iTunes counts devices and computers separate.

If I get taken to court I blame you all! but thanks guys Installing on my Pro as we speak!

I think it's intelligent enough to tell you if you've exceeded your limit when you try to download from the app store.

My internets 2MB at best because of the crappy area, So I stuck the installer on my External HDD and installed from that.

Nice, I didn't know that, I should be ok if I end up getting an iPad in the future then.
