Installing OSX on more than one machine?

I bought a MacBook Pro last September only a few weeks after my girlfriend bought hers, I got Snow Leopard but her machine came with the previous version. What I'd like to know is can I install my copy of Snow Leopard on her machine legally or would that involve buying another licence?

You can't install it legally. Not only that, but the disks that came with your machine most likely will not work with hers.

    Hi,
    anyone knows if it'll be possible to install FCS2 on more than one machine? I have different macs (desktop, laptop) I'd like to install FCS2 on.
    thanks.

    Hi there,
    legally you can only install 1 copy of FCS onto 1 desktop & 1 laptop. any more than that you need to but more copies.
    as to the requirements of FCS2, check out apples FCS2 webpage for exact details but roughly, as it is a PRO app, it requires PRO machines (not mac minis, macbooks or any machine with an integrated graphics chip)
    hope this helps

  • I have a desktop PC and a Macbook Pro.  Can I install my CC programs on more than one machine/OS at the same time?

    I'm looking to start using Adobe CC but I use more than one machine in my daily life - a Win8.1 PC and a Mac OSX laptop - can anyone tell me definitively whether I can install the desktop applications for CC on both and sync all my online files to whichever machine I happen to be using at the time?

    Hi All, I have two questions. First of all my CS3 is saying that it is installed on more than one machine, is there a way of seeing what machines my serial number is registered to? If i want to buy another CS3 serial number how do i go about it? I cannot afford to move to the creative cloud.....

    there's no way for you to identify which machines have or had cs3 activated, and you can no longer purchase a cs3 license from adobe.
    you can request an activation count reset (Contact Customer Care) and deactivate your cs3 on all your computers.  you can then install and activate on up to two computers.

  • Can I use the redemption code for more than one machine for Photoshop Elements?

    I want to use the Photoshop Elements that I bought on more than one machine. Is that
    possible using the Redemption Code? It says it was used with another Adobe ID.
    Thanks

    Hi Stover,
    Typically you use the redemption code to retrieve your serial number for Elements products. The licensing for Elements allows the owner to install on two of their computers.
    See these for reference:

    How many computers can I install Photoshop Elements on?
    Hope that helps,

  • How do I install Lion on more than one Mac

    How do I install Lion on more than one Mac?  As I have a MacBook Pro and a iMac?

    Purchase Lion on one of the machines.
    Log in to the MAS with the other machine, using the same Apple ID you originally bought Lion with. Go to the Purchased Tab and Lion should be available for download. It should say Install.
    It's possible that you will be asked for credit information as a form of verifying who you are.

    I own Creative Suite Can I install it on more than 1 machine?

    You can install on as many machines as you like.  Of those machines you can only have two of them activated at a time.  Of those two machines you can only be using one of them at any given time.

  • How to directly wire in more than one machine

    Hello all,
    I am probably going to buy this router. Right now I have one machine right near the cable modem so it can be directly wired in. My laptop and Imac can hook up wirelessly. I see that there is one LAN port for a machine to be directly wired in.
    What if I want to wire up more than one machine directly to the Airport Extreme router with actual ethernet cable (for better reliability). There is only one LAN side port. Do I just get a simple ethernet switch and then plug the machines into it? Is that reliable. If so which switch.
    Thanks.
    -Josh

    Joshua, depending on what kind of Modem your Internet Service Provder has furnished you with you simply run the Ethernet cable from the port you hook a machine to, direct to the WAN port on the Airport EXtreme Base. The one with the circle of dots. The LAN port on the AEBS can be used for hardwired connection, it's the one with 2 arrows pointing away from one and other.
    Or you can run an ethernet cable from this same port on the AEBS to a HUB and wire in several, or you can use a multiport switch...
    There are a multitude of ways to hook this up and almost all come with a diagram and explain in a step by step... This should do it for you...Good Luck..Don

    I am considering buying Acrobat 11 Prio on a monthly subscription but I would like to use it on more than one machine is this possible?

    You are allowed to have two working installations so if you want to have it on two machines you can.  If you want it on more than that then you need to manage which ones are working at any given time such that only two are usable.

  • Installing FCE on more than one computer

    ok, so im getting ready to purchase FCE HD and install it on my G4 eMac.
    My question is: When I upgrade to a new computer next year, am I gonna have to RE-PURCHASE the same software for my new computer?
    Or will I be able to use my already paid for software?
    thanks, Dan

    Amy and All,
    This is one of those occasions where the letter of the law is an animal like a donkey!
    (I can't use the correct quote because the equally stupid decency censor thinks I am swearing!)
    You can use FCE on both computers so long as you uninstall it from the one you are not using at the moment!!!!
    Obviously the rule is really intended to stop TWO PEOPLE using the program as you can legally use it on as many computers as you want provided you uninstall it first.
    I think that Apple should reword it something like this:-
    "You may install the program on more than one computer provided that you are the sole user of those computers".
    When you see the blatant piracy that occurs on eBay etc. it makes a mockery of this particular rule.
