How can I tell if my software licence is a Family Pack or Single use?

I need to work out which licence I have as my daughter has a Mac Book.  Her school provided her with iWork but take it off when she leaves in a month or so.  If I have the Family Pack I can load Pages, Keynote etc, but not if I only have Single use.

If you still have the box or electronic receipt you could call your closest Apple Store and give them the serial # or model # and they can check it. Do you remember what you paid? Also, there are no longer any Family Packs with Lion, but I see your sig says Snow Leopard.

  • How can I tell if an install DVD is a family pack or a single-user?

    I'm now running Tiger, and want to install Leopard. I can't go to Snow Leopard because my processor is powerPC -- not Intel.
    I have purchased a new Leopard install DVD from a seller on Ebay. I paid for a family pack. It does not say "family pack" anywhere on the package, which is sealed in clear plastic. I asked the seller why it didn't show "family pack" anywhere visible on the package. He "guaranteed" that it is a family pack, not a single user license.
    I've looked at a family pack DVD for Tiger and for Snow Leopard. Both show "family pack" on the exterior of the package, but I don't see anything on the face of the DVD.
    Is there anyway that I can confirm whether the seller is being truthful? If I open the package, and it doesn't show anything on the face of the DVD . . . . how can I tell if it really is a family pack?
    Thanks for your help.

    My Leopard came pre-installed, so I don't have a retail package to examine. However, doing a google image search for family packs, I couldn't find any obvious difference on the outside or inside between the two. Here, for example, is someone who says he bought a family pack and photos of the inside of the box including the DVD:

    Notice, no "family pack" to be seen anywhere.
    The only difference, as I understand it, between the family pack and the single-user pack is the number of license you pay for. If you paid (a third-party) for a family pack license, then I feel you can in good conscience install the OS on up to five computers in your house or that otherwise meet the terms of use for a family pack. The OS will not seek out duplicate serial numbers on your network or anything like that (even single-user installs rely on the honor system) so you will be fine.

  • HELP!  How can I tell if my copy of iWork is Family Pack?

    I bought this copy in 2007 and am selling it now, don't use anything in it, but I don't know whether this is the Family Pack or the individual user version.
    I have the same problem with the copy of Leopard I bought, which I -know- is the Family Pack (5 installs) but which says nothing to that effect in the packaging!

    Apple doesn't "track" installs but depends on the moral integrity of their consumers to abide by the software license. For most Apple Software the licenses state the software can only "exist on one computer" at a time. The licenses state that family pack software can exist on up to five computers in the same household. So, legally, you can uninstall the software from one Mac & install it on another & be within the terms of the license.

    It is best to first change the password for your sync account and after having done that also generate a new sync key if you suspect that others are using your sync account.
    Also be sure to use a master password to protect your passwords, including the sync password, and prevent others from hacking your sync account.

  • How can I move an e mail account from one family pack to another

    I have an e mail address (not main family pack e mail address) and I would like to move it to another family pack. Is this possible and if so how?
    Thanks

    Caroline12, Welcome to the discussion area!
    I believe that your question is about a Mobile Me family pack account. If that is true, I believe that the answer is no.
    But your probably should post your question in the Apple.com > Support > Discussions > MobileMe discussion area.

  • How can i tell if my iphone is unlocked?

    How can I tell if my Iphone 3GS is unlocked.  I bought it used and it still has ATT info on screens but the seller said it was unlocked.  Is there a test or message somewhere?

    If it is a 3Gs from AT&T it is locked. It could have been "unofficially" unlocked (what iOS version is on it?) but if you upgrade it will relock to AT&T.
    AT&T will not unlock iPhones period. Contact the seller and get your money back.

  • Upload dell printer software on my macbook, how can i tell if it is compatible?

  • How can I tell what Software Update Groups are members of Deployment Packages?

    I have a single SCCM 2012 SP1 CU4 server running on Windows Server 2012.
    I am trying to clean things up a little bit and I am curious:
    How can I tell which Software Update Groups use
    which Deployment Packages?  I don't see it on the Properties of either one.
    Thanks!

    Funny thing is that you can't see from the software update (in the software update group) in which deployment package(s) it exists. Your only options are manually comparing every single update (not really an option), or use PowerShell and do something

    If you are being tracked/harrassed by an ex and are feeling legitimately threatened I would reccomend contacting you local law enforcement.
    Change your iCloud/AppleID:  iCloud: Change your iCloud account password
    Contact your cellular carrier to change your number/blacklist his/her number.

  • How can I tell if spyware or keylogger software (remotely installed) is on my iPhone 5c?

    How can I tell if spyware or keylogger software (remotely installed) is on my iPhone 5c? This includes being able to view the content I view, using my phone, listening to conversations, etc.

    You can take it to your cellular provider and explain to them that you think its been tampered with and have them restore it to factory settings. Be sure they do not back up your cell phone. This means you will loose all your applications, numbers, data, ect.
    If it's an Iphone restore it without backing it up and restore to the latest firmware because once you change the baseband the spyware will be deleted.
    Purchase an anti spyware software.

  • I'm told there is a virus associated with Adobe Reader. How can I tell if my machine is effected and if so what is the cure. I'm running OS X10.6.8 on an iMac with safari 5.1.5

    I'm told there is a virus associated with Adobe Reader. How can I tell if my machine is effected and if so what is the cure. I'm running OS X10.6.8 on an iMac with safari 5.1.5

    There are no viruses currently affecting the Mac but there is something called Flashback which is malware that has been doing the rounds and affected many Mac users. Apple have released some updates to Java that should remove it and improve protection. Run Software Update to see if there is anything for downloading.
    A few precautions that can help prevent your Mac becoming infected:
    If you use Flash only download it directly from Adobe.
    In all web browsers disable Java (but do leave Javascript on as that's something else).
    In all web browsers make sure downloaded files aren't set to automatically open after downloading.
    Consider disabling Java completely (launch Java Preferences in the Utilities folder and disable it - you'll likely rarely, if ever need it. If you do just turn it on and off again when your done).

  • How can I tell what the iTunes build is before I download?

    I am having difficulty finding out what the iTunes build is for the current download from the Apple site. I am running iTunes 7.6 (29); I assume the "29" is the build for my installed version. I also assume that Software Update will ignore build changes unless the version changes.
    I do not want to download and install the current iTunes build unless it is different from my currently installled app. How can you tell what the specific version and build are from the Apple download site?
    Thanks!
