Family pack in a business

I need to know if my company can legally purchase 8 family packs for our 40 macs to upgrade to snow leopard or if we need purchase the 40 copies at $29. I would like to save the company the money but if it is not legal then we don't have a problem with buying all 40 copies.

Not legit.
It's meant for family - home use only.
About the Family Pack
The Family Pack Software License Agreement allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple software on up to a maximum of five (5) Apple-labeled computers at a time as long as those computers are located in the same household and used by persons who occupy that household. By “household” we mean a person or persons who share the same housing unit such as a home, apartment, mobile home, or condominium, including students who are primary residents of that household but reside at a separate on-campus location. This license does not extend to business or commercial users.

  • Business use and business licences (family packs??)

    I posted this in the .mac communication forum, too, so hope that's okay and not going to cause any confusion. Would have posted it in a general topic but couldn't find one. Would be nice to have a topic for small businesses and/or creative/professional businesses. Anyway, the other thread is here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1085712
    I am somewhat surprised that Apple isn't putting more emphasis on small businesses in terms of where they are pitching their software. I don't know about the rest of the world but it seems like more and more small businesses (and certainly those in the creative industry) are switching to Macs.
    So why does Apple not allow .mac to be used for business use and why does Apple only have "family packs"? I would love to get iWork for my staff (four licences) and a collecting team licence for .mac (family licence?)....
    .mac could be perfect for business use and in-house/client collaboration but for some reason it seams Apple just isn't thinking of those possibilities. With web applications like Basecamp, Highrise, Connector etc and desktop programs like DayLite, there is clearly a huge market for these services and Apple is well on the way to having one of the best systems there but for some reason they won't extend it slightly to make it work for business.
    Any takes on this?
    Cheers,
    Galen

    Apple does offer volume licensing for businesses. I'm not sure if this link will "time out." Here is the path I took to get to that page: Apple.com > Store tab > link under More Stores Business on the right-hand side of the page > Volume licensing under Business Solutions, again on the right-hand side of the page. The list is alphabetical.

  • ARD Family Pack would be a business opportunity for Apple

    Apple Remote Desktop for 10 managed systems cost 299 USD. It can be considered cheap for companies that have remote locations and need for remote support. But for a family that is too high cost.
    Often Apple offers 5 licence family packs for more affordable 59 or 79 USD. ARD Family Packs would be a real business opportunity for Apple, not to gain money for selling ARD licences but to boost the sales of Apple computers.
    Here is an example. I have Macs at home, my sister and parents live far away in different countries and they do not want to switch to Macs only because they can not get help from anyone (they know and who speaks their language) in the case of any technical or usability problems.
    BUT I could maintain the computer for them and help them to use it more and better, IF there is an affordable ARD Family Pack available. Without that I can not convince them to switch to Macs. And that would count for 2 new computer sales for Apple. And the same applies to my wife's sisters and parents. Another 2 computers. And later their friends would switch...
    Does Apple have ARD for less than ten managed systems?
    Is there another (better?) way to manage 5 or so systems?
    Will Leopard bring any change to the high cost of managing less than 10 systems?

    Probably 90% (if not more) of the people who want to be to help their friends and relatives with their computers only need the ability to view and take control of the client computer remotely. For those people, ARD, even a "family pack" would be overkill. If all you need is to be able to control another computer, then look into the freeware VNC. That will give you control capabilities and not cost you anything. You can find VNC applications for Mac here. Most people seem to find Chicken of the VNC works well for them.

  • Family Pack use in a company?

    Are there any license restrictions regarding the use of the iWork Family Pack?
    Some software has a "commercial use" clause preventing the use in a corporate environment, does iWork have anything like this regarding the family pack.
    So...
    Can I buy the family pack & use it for example on 5 computers in a small company?
    Other licences prevent installation on more than 1 premesis.
    So...
    Can I install on 3 computers at the office & 2 at home?
    and lastly where can I get a copy of the license agreement?
    Thanks

    OK, found the license, all questions are answered in one neat paragraph:
    B. iWork Family Pack License. This License allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on up to a maximum of five (5) Apple-
    labeled computers at a time as long as those computers are located in the same household and used by persons who occupy that same
    household. By "household" we mean a person or persons sharing the same housing unit such as a home, apartment, mobile home or
    condominium. This license does not extend to students who reside at a separate on-campus location or to business or commercial users. You
    may not make the Apple Software available over a network.

  • IWork 09 Family Pack license

    I recently purchased an iWork Family pack for use on my three macs. I would like to allow my niece in college to also use this software. Do I have to mail her the original disk, or is there a work-around, such as a family pack serial number?, She is currently using a trial version of the software.

    The license for the family pack says
    C. iWork Family Pack License. This License allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on up to a maximum of five (5) Apple-labeled computers at a time as long as those computers are located in the same household and used by persons who occupy that same household. By "household" we mean a person or persons who share the same housing unit such as a home, apartment, mobile home or condominium, but shall also extend to student members who are primary residents of that household but residing at a separate on-campus location. The Family Pack License does not extend to business or commercial users. You may not make the Apple Software available over a network.
    So, unless your niece lives with you when she is not in college, the license doesn't extend to her. She should be able to buy a discounted single or family pack of iWork at her college bookstore or via the online Apple Store for Education.

  • Upgrade single family pack?

    I'm leaving Monday on a business trip for which I'll need a spreadsheet on my laptop, so today (Saturday) went to the local Apple Store and bought a copy of iWork '08. I'm working my way through Numbers right now and so far everything is going well.
    Just one problem: I wanted to buy a Family Pack so I could also install it on my desktop Mac. But they were sold out of Family Packs - all they had were the single-user version, so I had to buy what they had.
    Is it going to be possible to pay the extra $20 and upgrade to a Family Pack? Thanks...

    No, there is no upgrade path. A search of this forum probably would have returned several threads on the subject.
    You can remove iWork '08 from your desktop Mac & put it on your MacBook/MacBook Pro to remain within the single-user license.
    When the Apple Store didn't have the family pack, you could just use the trial version for up to 30 days. You could then order the family pack online & just enter the serial number on your Macs after you get it (this is what I did).

  • 11i Family Pack K RUP4 patch, FAILED messages for file perkigfclient.jar

    Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11.5.10.2
    Hi, All -
    After running the 11i Family Pack K RUP4 patch, I got failed messages for file perkigfclient.jar and penzlhee.sql.
    Both files do have a "Completed" message under another worker. Is this an issue? If yes, how should I fix it?
    Thanks in advance!

    You may not install Leopard on more than one computer.
    Excerpt from the User License Agreement for Leopard:
    2. Permitted License Uses and Restrictions.
    A. Single Use. This License allows you to install, use and run one (1) copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-labeled computer at a time. You agree not to install, use or run the Apple Software on any non-Apple-labeled computer, or to enable others to do so. This License does not allow the Apple Software to exist on more than one computer at a time, and you may not make the Apple Software available over a network where it could be used by multiple computers at the same time.
    B. Family Pack. If you have purchased a Mac OS X Family Pack, this License allows you to install and use one (1) copy of the Apple Software on up to a maximum of five (5) Apple-labeled computers at a time as long as those computers are located in the same household and used by persons who occupy that same household. By "household" we mean a person or persons who share the same housing unit such as a home, apartment, mobile home or condominium, but shall also extend to student members who are primary residents of that household but residing at a separate on-campus location. The Family Pack License does not extend to business or commercial users.
    Apple also does not allow "upgrades" from Single user to the Family Pack.
    Hope that helps!

    Thanks Kashif M &Hussein for your valuable replies.I've read the links. As per the documennt in r12.
    Product family release update pack (product family RUP)     An aggregation of patches on a given codeline created for all products in specific product family for a specific point release. For example, R12.FIN_PF.A.1.
    Release update pack (RUP)     A cumulative aggregation of product family release update packs on a given codeline created across Oracle E-Business Suite after the initial release. For example, 12.1.1.
    RUP in r12 is similar to family pack(11i) which will change the third digit (12.1.1 to 12.1.2).right?
    Product family release update pack(family pack) with new features called rollup patch?
    (or)
    About rollup patch I read in one apps dba blog
    Rollup patces are usually fixes of all issues popped up because of a particular minipack/familypack or maintenance pack. Lets assume you applied a family pack & because of that some issue/bug came into picture or all bugs reported soon after family pack or maintenance pack are fixed and released as Roll Up patch . These are usually denoted as roll up 1 rollup 2 or roll up A roll up B.
    So you will see maintenance pack 10 (11.5.10) roll up 1 or roll up2.
    How can we identify the roll up level?
    Thanks

  • Personal Domain for two sites on Family Pack

    Can you use two personal domains with iWeb if you are using a Family Pack/.mac?
    I have a single .mac now for family and would like to upgrade to family pack and have a small portion for an upcoming home business with its own personal doman.
    TIA

    I think you want something setup like I have right now - and it works. I have two sites on .mac using iWeb. The first main site is designated with a personal domain. The second has one, but I cannot use it because the whole .mac preference is for all the sites. So I went to my host name provider (domainit.com) and they offer one free "forward" for that personal domain - all I did was type in the site name where it should point to. Now, it wasnt the standard "web.mac.com" because my .mac is designated with a personal domain. For that second site it is mypersonaldomain.com/site. When I enter my domain for that second site, it says the namein the browser bar, but at the bottom of the browser you can see the original full path of mypersonaldomain.com/site.
    So, you dont need to have another web host (web space/storage). You can have a primary personal domain working with .mac and then have the second personal domain point to (forward) the second site (that now is a sub of the first personal domain).
    Now that I talked in circles, HTH just a bit.

  • Family pack

    i have i family pack and i need to
    (1) log-in to each sub account on www.mac.com to set up 4 users for 4 web sites. can some one help please
    cheers Denis

    Just talked to an apple store rep, and he said that there wasn't any way to upgrade your copy of the OS to a family pack when you buy a new machine, so it's $200 or nothing.
    which seems a little odd - I guess it makes sense from a business standpoint, but it's annoying to have a throwaway license on the new machine...
