How many macs can I install Lion on using the same Apple ID?

What's the limitation? I have two Macs I would like to upgrade to Lion. I know Lion is cheap but it'd be nice to just pay one license for my two MBP's.

    If I install Lion onto my imac can I also put it onto my macbook or do I have to purchase several copies?

    How To: Install OS X Lion on Multiple Macs
    Psst. Here’s a little-known secret that very few people know — even though Apple has done nothing to keep it a secret. One $29.99 purchase of Lion gets you an unlimited license to download it on as many Macs as you like. And it’s super simple to do, too.
    Mac App Store
    Corporate logic would dictate that one install of an operating system would equate to one purchase. But that’s not true of Lion, Apple’s latest iteration of its popular OS X operation system. With Lion, one purchase equals as many installations as you please — on as many computers as you like.
    Say you’ve already downloaded and installed Lion on your primary Mac, but you want to put it on a second machine. Maybe it’s your spouse’s Mac, or a parent or child, or even a friend, for that matter. Heck, it can be your boss at work if you want to suck up. Or just a total stranger on the street. You can give anyone you want a free download of Lion. Whether they use an iMac or a MacBook, it doesn’t matter. And it won’t cost you one extra cent. You just have to get brief access to their computer. Here’s what to do.
    On the second (or third, or fourth, etc.) Mac you want to install Lion on, open the Mac App Store.
    Go to the “Store” drop-down menu, and click on “Sign Out.” Then go back to the same menu and click “Sign In.”
    Here’s the key point. When the drop-down menu appears, sign in to this computer using the Apple ID that you used to download your original purchase of Lion.
    Click on the “Purchased” tab at the top of the App Store. You’ll be presented with a list of every app you’ve ever downloaded for your Mac. Find “OS X Lion” on this list. It should look like this:
    To the far right of Lion should be a button that says “Install.” Click it. You’ll probably get another drop-down menu asking for your password again. Just put it in and your download will begin immediately.
    Once the download is complete (which will take a while — it’s 4GB in size after all!) and the installation is done, remember to go back to the Mac App Store and sign out, so the user of this computer can sign back in with their Apple ID.

  • How many macs can I install Logic studio on?

    How many macs can I install Logic studio on?

    It's in your Logic Studio license agreement:

    A. This License allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on one Apple-labeled desktop computer and one Apple-labeled laptop computer so long as both computers are owned and used by you. This License does not allow the Apple Software to run on more than one computer at a time.

  • How do i share music with 2 iphones using the same apple id?

    how do i share music with 2 iphones using the same apple id?

    Sync them both to the same iTunes music library.  You can also automatically download purchased music to both by going to Settings>iTunes & App Stores and turning Music to On under Automatic Downloads.  If you music is in multiple computers, you can enable Home sharing to share your music library across multiple devices (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819).

  • HT204053 Can my wife and I use the same apple ID?

    Can my wife and I use the same Apple ID?

    You can certainly use the same ID for an itunes store account to share purchased items.  However for icloud, it's designed so that each account pertains to one user for each of his/her devices.  The main purpose of icloud is syncing and backups of iOS devices.  Do you really want to have the same email account, same contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc?  Usually a couple needs to have separate icloud accounts.  They can share calenders if they want.
    The danger of two users using one account is if one user edits or deletes (on purpose or accidentally) data, that will propagate to the other user's devices.

  • How can I get iCloud to use the same Apple ID on my Mac and iOS devices

    I have an Apple ID that syncs between my iPhone and iPad. The Apple ID on my Mac is different and I cannot change it so it uses the same Apple ID and iCloud account.

    Sign out of the Apple ID on your Mac and sign in to the one you want to use. Go to System Preferences>iCloud>Sign Out
    Then sign in to the Apple ID you use with your iPhone and iPad.

  • How do I separate 3 different devices all using the same apple ID

    HELP PLEASE!! My wife has a macbook which is about 5 years old. We used our only email address at that time as our apple ID. Since then we have bought her an iphone 4 and registered it with the same apple ID. Then a few months later I made the jump from my blackberry to an iphone 4 and used the same apple id. All these devices are now tethered to the same apple id as well as our family itunes account. So, we have a family itunes account, an older macbook and 2 iphone 4's all with the same apple id. With me so far? Now, everything was cool until the iOS update came out for our 2 iphones and came with the new icloud app. When my wife and I set up our icloud accounts everything that was on her phone showed up on mine and everything that was on mine showed up on hers. How do I change the apple id's on her phone and computer, keep the apple id we already have on my phone and continue to share the itunes account? An important note here is that the apple id's are my email address. HELP!!!!

    OK this might help you
    you need both iphones and the mac next open itunes and click on itunes prefrences now you will need to go to devices and erase all iphone back ups
    next plug the phone with your info to the mac and rename that iphone with your name and back it up, After the back up safely remove it
    next plug the phone with your wifes info into the mac and follow the same steps.
    after the back up is done restore your wifes iphone and when ask to restore as a new iphone you need to scroll down to her name and click on it then do the same with your phone
    this will put all info into the corresponding phones

  • How many people can log into a G5 at the same time.

    I am using a G5 as a server with external drives attached. I get a message from time to time that says "too many users are logged in at once", is there a limit to how many people can log into a G5 at once ?
    All are on different users, and it's a total gigabit network.

    Basically, my iphone has been in the same apple ID as my dads iphone and mac book, so my iphone has always been synced to his macbook. I bought myself a mac book the other day and want to sync my iphone to it. However i have obviously put my mac book in a different apple id as i know pay for things i download myself, how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?  ive now put my iphone into my new apple id thinking this might help? ive also tried clicking 'manually manage music and video' but this doesnt seem to work, it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
    HELPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    " how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?"
    You cannot.  Copy everything you want form the old computer to the new one, then sync it.
    it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
    Correct Iphone will sync, or manually manage, with one and only one computer/library at a time. Syncing, or manually managing, to another will indeed erase the current content.
