You copy the Install Mac OS X Lion.app in /Applications to the other machines and then run it.

If you read the applicable paragraphs of the licensing agreement, it is not at all a grey area - at least as far as the rules Apple has decided to set. It's just that most people don't read the licensing agreement.
And, to make things worse, there are two different sets of rules:
1. If you upgraded from another (earlier) OS, the Lion license is NOT transferable to the buyer of your Mac. Original OS to be re-installed and disks supplied to buyer - doesn't matter how you upgraded.
2. If you purchase a Mac with Lion preinstalled, you may make a onetime transfer of Lion to the buyer of the Mac if you sell it.
You can download the SLA here:
http://www.apple.com/legal/sla/
Add: As for machines being for sale on ebay, etc: simply ask the seller if it came with Lion; if not, does he know that he has to supply the previous OS disks and wipe Lion. That would be what I'd do if I were to ever get a Mac on ebay (I know better than to trust buying one there).
I'm glad I only buy from the Apple Online Store! I think I'd go mad trying to figure out all the legalities! lol
Thanks for the info, though, I think a few people will be interested in how this works

How do i install adobe flash flyer to my mac book pro laptop im unable to watch any video on you tube or ay where

How do i install adobe flash flyer to the mac book pro laptop .it states my adobe is out dated i need to install a newer version.

Go to this link to download the installer and this link to determine which version you have installed. Always get extensions like this from the publisher (in this case Adobe) and not from some website that says you need an extension and offers to install it for you since you may end up with malware instead.
BTW, once the current version of Flash is installed, you can set its preferences to update automatically in the background.

How do I install Creative Suite on my new Mac Book when my old Mac Book is broken and disc has been misplaced?

My old Mac Book is broken and no longer turns on. A couple of years ago I bought the Creative Suite from Apple and would like to transfer this to my new Mac Book. However, to make things more complicated I seem to have misplaced my disc. How do you suggest I can transfer the Creative Suite to my new Mac?
Many Thanks,
Jess

You would not want to transfer it even if you could. Transferring doesn't work in most cases. You need to install using installation files. You can download those files (can only provide a general link since you didn't indicate the version)...
Download and Installation Help -
https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install.html
You will need your serial number to activate, which is normally on the disc case. If you registered the software when you originally installed it then you might be able to find it recorded in your Adobe account online in the My Products section.

Dealing With The Resume Feature of Lion
Managing Mac OS X Lion's application resume feature.
If you shutdown your computer you should get a dialog asking if you want applications to resume on the next startup. Simply uncheck the box to prevent that from occurring. Open General preferences and uncheck the option to Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps. You can also install a third-party utility to control resume features on individual applications: RestoreMeNot or Application State Cleaner.
It is possible to completely stop the Resume feature although I'm unconvinced that it is that annoying. Nevertheless see the following:
If you have not yet done so you must first make your /Home/Library/ folder visible. Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the prompt paste the following command line:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press RETURN. Quit the Terminal application.
In the Finder navigate to the /Home/Library/Saved Application State/ folder. Delete the contents of the folder. Back up to the /Home/Library/ folder. Select the Saved Application State folder. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Sharing and Permissions panel at the bottom click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window.
Quit all open programs except the Finder (this is very important.) Next, navigate to the /Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ folder. Look for a .plist file with "com.apple.loginwindow." in the file name followed by some numbers in hexadecimal. Select the file. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window and in the Sharing and Permissions panel click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window. If you also find a file with the same filename but with a last extension of ".lockfile," then you should delete it.
The above should eliminate the Resume feature system-wide. Note that any future system updates or upgrades will likely undo these changes. You will then need to repeat this procedure assuming there are no major changes in OS X related to it.

I just downloaded Lion, why can't I open Word?

I just downloaded Lion, why can't I open Word?

If they are all PPC-only applications, then yes. CS2 is incompatible with Intel machines. Not knowing how old your iMovie version is, but if it goes back to the same time period then it won't work either until you upgrade all the old software to Intel or Universal binaries from the respective developers.
You can revert back as follows. Erase the drive and restore your Snow Leopard backup or:
Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

Hi, I have just downloaded lion and my Photoshop CS is not supported.....why why why. This update will cost me $500 ! Totally useless update

I have just downloaded LION as an update and it is OK, not great but OK. However I am furious because it does not support Photoshop CS for Mac! Great so this update is now going to cost me 500 dollars for a new Photoshop. Well done Apple why is this not supported and why should I buy more software. THIS IS BAD BAD BAD!. Don't update to Lion until you check your other software will run! Does anyone know how to revert back to Snow Leopard or get your money back from Apple.

First off, learn how you must be prepared for Lion before installing:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2465
Next consider one of three courses:
1. If most of your software is supported, and you don't presently have a backup of your older system, get an external hard drive larger than your current,
partition it for enough space for Snow Leopard and your present Lion installation on your hard drive allowing for at least 15% of each partition to have free space after cloning Lion and installing Snow Leopard and your Snow Leopard only compatible applications.
2. If very little of your software is supported, and you don't presently have a backup, get an external hard drive, Install Snow Leoaprd on it, and recover your data on it after using the Migration Assistant to import the data from the Lion on the internal that is compatible with Snow Leopard, and the install applications from your CDs. Once you have it working on your external hard drive, clone it back to your internal, and get a refund from the App Store:
http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact.html?form=account
3. If you have a backup from before installing Snow Leopard, just erase and install Snow Leopard, and contact the App Store support for a refund.

Good luck!

I recently made the same mistake. The thing to do is download the new Quicken Essentials for MAC. After you install the new version follow the instructions on how to transfer your old files. There is a way, it just takes a little time and, if I remember correctly, it takes the info from your quicken backup files. Hopefully you had auto back up on and your files are intact. I didn't and reconstruction was a bear but entirely possible. The new Quicken is quite different but seems to work quite well. Good luck.

Decided to download "Lion" from work to install at home

Decided to download “Lion” from work to install at home. We have a much faster connection at work. Went thru the procedure of Registering and Paying and as soon as I hit the download button, it started to install. DO NOT want to install at work. Where is the physical file to download?
The install is on pause at the moment. How do I stop it completly.
Instead of calling it a download button, call it what it is, an intsall button. Call a spade a spade!

Well I gambled and downloaded their upgrade from work. From the things I had read It just seemed to me it had to work and it did. Besides it would have taken me 12 hours at home to download and I’ve thrown away more in Vegas.
When it finally finsihed and asked me to install I quit the installer. Burned the Installer app to a DVD and took it home. I copied the Installer .app to the Applications folder and launched it. It went thru a couple of things and then after about a minute it wanted to restart the iMac. I thought man that was fast or it didn’t work. What it was doing was restarting from the Installer app. Took about 30 minutes to finish. Restarted and everything works fine.
I think the secret is coping it to the Applications folder and to launch/run it from there because I believe it’s last act is deleting the Installer app. (No installer app, No finish! - Just a guess) You always have a copy on the DVD.

I am going to buy a bigger hard drive. i am operating on Lion. how do i install my os on the new disk? i can't use time machine.

i am going to buy a bigger hard drive. i am operating on Lion. how do i install my os on the new disk? i can't use time machine.

Plug this new drive as an external drive, boot from lion recovery "command-R" more info here: http://www.apple.com/macosx/recovery/
Open disk utility, format and partition the disk at your will (allways Mac OS plus...) and go ahead with the install, don't care if it tells you to whait thousands of hours, I did get installed in 2 hours and a half last week.
If you can't plug the disk as an external one, you'll have first to do an USB disk recovery utility, as easy as download the recovery utility and install it in an USB disk, you can find anything from the link above, plug the disk as a single master, and boot from the USB you created before.
Tell me how it went!!!

Just download lion and my words/excel/powerpoint didn't work anymore

Just download lion and my words/excel/powerpoint dont work anymore, any idea why?

Office 2004 is a PPC (Power PC) based application. That CPU stopped bing used more than 6 years ago, and there was a program called Rosetta which could run PPC apps. But Lion does not support Rosetta, a fact which has been warned of for years.
The only versions of Office supported in Lion are 2008 (if it was on already) or 2011 (new install).
You can by Pages, iWorks, free Office-replacements like NeoOffice or Open Office or LibreOffice.
Or pay $200 for Office 2011.

Download it again, don't install again and the file (Lion Installer.app) will be in your applications folder.
It is deleted after installation, that's why it can't be found.
