How many computers can I use Lion on? Do I need to use them on one ID?

Hello,
My house has exactly 5 Mac's in it and I wish to upgrade all of these to Lion.  In the past whenever I did an OS update I purchased the family pack instead of the standard edition which covered all 5 of the Mac's we own.
Am I correct that now the 10.7 Lion edition in the Mac App Store for $29 covers 5 computers or is there a separate family pack available?  Is there now just one version which covers 5 computers?
The other question is how to go about the install.  Two of the computers are in my home office but the other two belong to our children and when it comes to using the Mac App Store on all of those computers they are login into my Apple ID (me.com).
The 5th computer is my wife's though and that computer is using her Apple (me.com) ID since she makes her own purchases from the Mac App Store, iTunes, and has her own me.com email on it so her computer is the one that is unique.
Will the above present any problems?  Will I be able to buy Lion and install it on the 4 computers on my ID and then have her buy her own copy for her computer or is there a way that I can get one version that goes on all 5 computers even though her computer is using a different ID for the Mac App Store?
Thank you for your help.

You can install Lion on all of your computers, you may want to have your wife download the app again on her account or you can make a Lion install DVD by following these instructions.  http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20080989-263/how-to-create-an-os-x-lion-ins tallation-disc/

  • How many computers can you install Lion after purchasing from App store. My wife and I have our own Apple ID will it accept 2 different ID

    I have a MacBook Pro and an iMac . My wife has a MacBook and an iMac. How many computers are you allowed to install from one download. We both use Apple products and have our own Apple ID. Can I download Lion on her computers after I have both of mine installed? Or does she have to buy LION again using her Apple ID# ?

    A single purchase of Lion will allow you to download it multiple times as long as you use your Apple ID.
    If your wife wishes to install Lion, she must sign into the App Store with your Apple ID.

  • How many computers can i install lion on?

    just wanted to know, is there a limit on downloads of the new system?

    You can have up to 5 devices ( that includes PCs ) authorized with an iTunes account
    Lion can be installed on any Mac authorized on an iTunes account that purchases Lion
    Therefore, if you have 5 Macs & all are associated with the same iTunes account, you can install Lion on all 5 for 1 Lion purchase.  That means that all the Mac share the same iTunes media, purchases, etc, since they are all on the same iTunes ID
    There doesn't appear to be any limits to how many times Lion can be reinstalled ( downloaded ) onto the same computer.  Since the OS is now licensed to the iTunes account ID, changing the internal hardware, ie hard drive, etc, won't affect licensing, unlike windows vista
    Cheers !

  • If I purchase Adobe Standard, how many computers can I install it onto? And is there any way of buy an additional subscription? i.e. if it can only be installed onto two, is it possible to purchase a third installation?

    The company I work for are looking to purchase Adobe Standard, how many computers can this be installed onto? We need it on three computers so if it is only possible to install it onto two is it possible to install it onto a third computer without having to buy the software twice?
    Thanks

    Hi There,
    We would like to inform you that you can just activate 2 machines with one subscription, however, you can just use one at a time.
    If you wish to use the 3 machine, then, you would have to purchase another subscription with a different email address.
    You would need another email address, because the activation is done via email address and more than two activation on 1 email is not possible.
    Please revert if you need any more information on this.
    Thanks,

    how many computers can i use with creative cloud?

    Two.
    From the Creative Cloud FAQ here http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/faq.html under the section Purchasing and getting started:
    On how many computers can I install the software I download from Creative Cloud?
    You can install the desktop applications available in Creative Cloud on your primary computer and one backup computer, as long as they are not running at the same time. You will have access to both the Mac OS and Windows versions, so if you have a Mac at home and a PC at work, for instance, you can install your applications on both. See the product license agreements page for more information.

  • How many computers can use the pdf pack?

    I need to know how many computers can use my account info if we upgrade to the pack?

    Hi Serendipity1517,
    The license agreement states that you can use the subscription on up to two devices that are associated with the same Adobe ID, but you cannot use the software on these devices simultaneously.
    I hope that answers your question.
    Best,
