Upgrade single family pack?

I'm leaving Monday on a business trip for which I'll need a spreadsheet on my laptop, so today (Saturday) went to the local Apple Store and bought a copy of iWork '08. I'm working my way through Numbers right now and so far everything is going well.
Just one problem: I wanted to buy a Family Pack so I could also install it on my desktop Mac. But they were sold out of Family Packs - all they had were the single-user version, so I had to buy what they had.
Is it going to be possible to pay the extra $20 and upgrade to a Family Pack? Thanks...

No, there is no upgrade path. A search of this forum probably would have returned several threads on the subject.
You can remove iWork '08 from your desktop Mac & put it on your MacBook/MacBook Pro to remain within the single-user license.
When the Apple Store didn't have the family pack, you could just use the trial version for up to 30 days. You could then order the family pack online & just enter the serial number on your Macs after you get it (this is what I did).

Upgrade to family pack mobile me query

Hi
I think I know the answer to this but just wanted to confirm. I have a single account mobile me and wanted to know if I could upgrade to family pack or add one more e-mail account without having to pay the full cost of a new family pack (ie £87)
thanks

You will be charged the proportion of the difference between the individual and family pack for the remaining time of your current year's subscription, as long as you pay by credit card. If you buy a 'retail pack' you will have to wait until the current subscription expires.
A Family Pack gives you four sub-accounts, each with its own email address. There are no email-only accounts.

Upgrading to Family Pack

I purchased a single-install version of iWork '08 thinking I would install it on only one computer but Numbers is so great, I want to install it on my other two machines. Is there a way to "upgrade" my single-install serial number with a Family Pack serial number?
Thanks,
Jerry

This question came up quite a few times after family packs were introduced for iWork '05 a few months after the original release. The answer was "no." But there is a 10- or 14-day return policy on unopened software. You could return the single-license & buy a family pack.
I suggest anyone not sure if they will want a single license or family pack to download the iWork '08 trial & use it before you decide.

Single or Family Pack?

Or, Single c'ld install more than a Mac but c'ld not be able to work on it with the same Wifi Network?
Thanks & appreciate for your precious reply!

Personal Domain for two sites on Family Pack

Can you use two personal domains with iWeb if you are using a Family Pack/.mac?
I have a single .mac now for family and would like to upgrade to family pack and have a small portion for an upcoming home business with its own personal doman.
TIA

I think you want something setup like I have right now - and it works. I have two sites on .mac using iWeb. The first main site is designated with a personal domain. The second has one, but I cannot use it because the whole .mac preference is for all the sites. So I went to my host name provider (domainit.com) and they offer one free "forward" for that personal domain - all I did was type in the site name where it should point to. Now, it wasnt the standard "web.mac.com" because my .mac is designated with a personal domain. For that second site it is mypersonaldomain.com/site. When I enter my domain for that second site, it says the namein the browser bar, but at the bottom of the browser you can see the original full path of mypersonaldomain.com/site.
So, you dont need to have another web host (web space/storage). You can have a primary personal domain working with .mac and then have the second personal domain point to (forward) the second site (that now is a sub of the first personal domain).
Now that I talked in circles, HTH just a bit.

Upgrade from a single license to a family pack...?

Is it possible to upgrade a single user license for iWork 09 to a family pack? Sorry for posting here, there is no forum under iWork it seems. Thanks for any help.

I think the point of his question is, He wants to remove single user copy from his Mac, install family copy to all of his Mac's, and then possibly resale his single user copy.
I also would like to possibly do the same thing. When I upgraded to iLife '09, I only owned 1 Macbook, now I own 2 Macbooks and I would like to upgrade to family license. When I upgrade can't I resale my single user copy?
Check your licence agreement. If it doesn't prohibit transferring the (single user) licence, then it would seem reasonable to assume you can do so. Being neither a lawyer nor an Apple representative, my advice remains the same as before: This might be a question best answered at an Apple Store or another authorized reseller.

Upgrading to 10.5 - Do I need a family pack?

I have a mac book pro and a powerpc g5. I want to upgrade them both to leopard and I'm getting conflicting messages about whether I can do it with a single user license or not. Can I? Do I have to buy the family package?

I don't agree. It looks to me that he asked that exact question and that would begin the point where it gets silly.
The way I read this thread is that someone wants to know if you need a family pack to install Leopard onto multiple computers (Post 1).
He's told that he actually needs the family pack or he will be breaking the EULA (Post 2)
He then posts a question if it will be difficult to do with just the *single user version* (Post 3) The it in the first post is to use a single user license on multiple computers.
Now if the original message didn't already say he wanted to install a single license to multiple computers, then maybe his question should be "would it be hard to install Leopard to a single machine?" That question has nothing to do with this thread.
That's the way it reads. No mind reading is possible. I read what he says and don't assume anything. If the subject is changed, then post a new thread or at least make it clear the subject has changed. He still needs a family pack to install Leopard to multiple computers. If he doesn't want to buy one, then he will have to go elsewhere for installation information that breaks the EULA.
The original post was not a silly question.
I got a feeling this post will get modified

Family pack vs single user

Is there any difference between the two versions? If I have 2 macs, but use only one at a time can I get the single user version?
By the way I am talking about ilfe

So does a family pack give you multiple serial numbers or something or is it just a generous upgrade to licencing conditions for a nominal fee?
To be honest for the extra money, seems like a no-brainer to get the Family Pack if you have more than one Mac.

Upgrading to a family pack

Can I just upgrade to a family pack if I have iWork-single user? I just bought a new iMac.

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.

Do we have to upgrade HRMS 11.5.10.2 Family Pack I to Family Pack K?

Hi,
Just a really quick question. Do we need to do a HRMS upgrade from 11.5.10.2 Family Pack I to Family Pack K to get isetup working? Our DBA has identified through analyzing the recommended patches (for 11.5.10.2) that this is a pre-requisite. We really want to try and minimise testing\effort in getting isetup working.. can we avoid applying some patches? is there an alternative? or do we need to be on family pack K and apply all the recommended patches?
Thanks

Hi,
Well I really want to know if we have to apply the patch 5201280 which has the prequisite of being on Family pack K.. Can we skip this patch?
The README file of Patch 5201280 says you need to have (Patch 3333633 - Oracle HRMS Family Pack J) applied as a pre-req. (NOT Family pack K).

Rajesh,
Please note that (Patch 2304444 - Marketing Online Release 11.5.7B) is already included in 11.5.9, 11.5.10, and 11.5.10.2, and you are already on 11.5.10.2. So, why would you need to apply this patch?

Is my Leopard DVD single use or family pack?

I bought Leopard for my laptop many months ago. I want to upgrade 3 home machines from Panther but cannot remember for a facrt whether I purchased family or not. I have the DVD and a manual but it does not say (or show a license key, did I have one of those, perhaps on the DVD case?).
Is there a way to determine if this is family pack from the part number?

What I sent are Apple's order numbers. I have no other information as I do not my Leopard disc with me.
If you remember paying $129 for it then it's not the Family Pak.

IPod Touch upgrade to use iMessage and it syncs with Dad's iPhone info!!! Using family pack Mobile Me. HELP???

I have three children that use iPod Touches. They are all iOS5 capable. I upgraded the first one this morning and it synced with my iPhone profile on iCloud. It asked for the iTunes account information which is what I believe caused this. We use Mobile Me Family Pack and each of the children have a unique @me.com account. How do I fix this problem so that each iPod has it's own unique login so that iMessage will work? I don't really want to open them up to any further exposure on the Web though... . As it stands I am able "micromanage" their contact list via Mobile Me. Is there any way to make the iPods behave correctly and still maintain parental control as well as allow them to keep their unique profiles and contact lists???
...and for some reason, after upgrading my son's iPod Touch... his apps all disappeared from the device??? Strange, as this worked perfectly when I upgraded my iPhone yesterday.
PS. All my upgrades are current. iOS5 on iPhone 4, iTunes 10.5 on MBP.

I spent about 2 hours on the phone with Apple Support... had to restore both devices! Arrrgggghhh!!! Thankfully the iPhone had a Backup from yesterday. The iPod wasn't too tough to get back up and running either... although we had to completely reload it as if it were new. Then we found out that Apple won't let the device login with my son's @me.com email because he's too young (10). Quick work-around for now until Apple fixes this was to lie about his age in the setup. I don't like the work around, but it worked.
