We are a small design studio how do we install lion on all machines

We are a small design studio with 8 imacs. How do we install Lion on all 8. Do we have to download the installer 8 times! at 4gb a download that is a lot of bandwidth. Or can one person sign in to the App store and download then distribute to all 8 machines?
Any advice greatly appreciated.

You might want to peruse the licensing agreement for Lion, available here:
http://www.apple.com/legal/sla/
I have absolutely no experience with commercial or volume licensing; but, as a business, you might want to pay special attention to para. 2B and C. The terms are not the same as they are for a single user.

Appreciate your support and if possible , how to do this?

If you want to work with Mac OS X, you need one computer per simultaneous user.
What you are describing, " Multiple simultaneous logins to a single computer" is not avialable on a regular Mac of any description, unless you decide to use Unix tools instead of Mac OS X.
Server will happily store files for many, many users and provide them to multiple (up to hundreds) of computers at "near hard Drive" speeds over Gigabit Ethernet. It can make the File Sharing part easy.

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.

USB on Intel Macs has always supported booting, that is what MacBook users have had to deal with. With a Mac Pro you have four internal drive bays, Firewire, and all of those are more suited and capable.

How do I install lion on multiple family computers?

How do I install lion on multiple family computers?

Once you have purchased Lion for download via the App store, you can repeat the process with each computer and the App store will indicate that you have already purchased it and will ask you if you want to download and install it on each computer.

I own two i macs. I bought and installed Lion on one computer. How can I install Lion on the other computer without additional charge?

I own two I macs. I bought and installed Lion on one computer. How can I install Lion on the other compute without additional charge?

If it's the same email address Apple registration on both, use the 2nd computer and go to the App Store and find Lion. If different, use the second computer but log in to the App store with the address you used on the first go round. The buy button should instead say install. Then go through the same process again.

How do I install lion and format the hard drive?

How do I install lion and format the hard drive, as though this was a new mac.

If your Mac is a 2011 model and originally came with Lion Pre-Installed by Apple then you can use the Internet Recovery HD system to Wipe/Erase the Complete drive and Re-Install Lion.
If it is an older model, even and early 2011 model, that did NOT come with Lion Pre-Installed by Apple you can not sell or give it away with Lion installed on it. You have to install the original version of OS X on it.

Design Studio : How can I expand all hierarchy at once in dimension filter

Dear Colleagues.
I am currently working on design studio. I need your advises to implement BW hierarchies in my dashboard.
Is it possible to expand all hierarchy in Dimension Filter of Design Studio?
I tried to expand hierarchy in data source api, like 'expandNode' or 'setDrillLevel'.
These functions can be expanded all hierarchy in Cross tab. but it can not be applied to Dimension Filter.
Please help me to achieve this.
Thank you in advance.
Best Regards,
K.Min

I don't see a way to achieve this with the Dimension Filter or the Filter Panel
I think it would be a great idea to add to Idea Place at ideas.sap.com

Using Qmaster with DVD Studio Pro OR Qmaster requires FCP on all machines?

Greetings everyone,
After a few days of tinkering I've finally managed to set up a managed cluster. However, I have a problem (surprise, surprise). When I submit a job to the cluster, Final Cut Pro suddenly opens up on all of the computers being used. I have Final Cut Studio 2 under an academic license, and all copies report that there is another copy running with the same serial number and that they must shut down. They render a few frames before suddenly quitting the job, regardless of whether I leave the message up or OK it away. I've done some reading from this thread which makes it sound like all systems must have a copy of FCP installed, or to use a slightly different method:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=375923&tstart=195
It's a bit upsetting as I'd originally read that systems could aid in rendering with just QMaster installed, and that they didn't need FCP installed. Hence, having FCP open up was unexpected, and I get the feeling that uninstalling FCP from those systems wouldn't help me.
But let me explain what I do normally, and perhaps some of you can guide me.
My work has me converting hundreds of tapes to DVD. Without QMaster, I would import the videos in Final Cut Pro, set chapter markers and in and out points, and then export the video (with barely any processing - an export typically takes 4 minutes on a dual 800 Mhz G4). I'd then import it to DVD Studio Pro, handle the menus, and then do a build and format. That process would take ~2-3 hours per DVD, and that is the part that I'd like to optimize.
The setup is such that I have one dual G5 wired to our hard drives (all Firewire 800), and then four other systems that connect to the G5 to access the HDs through a gigabit network switch. This has worked quite nicely in that it allows systems that only have Firewire 400 to work at Firewire 800 speeds regardless.
I'd originally thought that DVD Studio Pro 4 would automatically be able to process jobs through Qmaster, but I couldn't find a setting for it and it didn't seem to do it on its own. Instead, I was planning to redo my work flow such that the encoding of the video (the most time-consuming part of DVD Studio Pro's build procedure) would be done in Final Cut Pro. Or more specifically, it would go through Compressor. However, as I mentioned above, attempting to work this way causes Final Cut Pro to open up on all nodes within the cluster. As they all have the same serial number, they become unhappy under such conditions. I can uninstall them from the systems as I only ever use one copy at a time anyway, but as I mentioned from the link above, it seems that rendering through FCP -> Compressor will require FCP to be installed on all participating systems.
Does anyone have any advice for what to do? Is there a way to get around having FCP activate on all participating systems, or is there a way to do it directly through DVD Studio Pro (ideally in a manner that wouldn't cause DVD Studio Pro to activate on all participating systems)?
Any advice is much appreciated. The distributed encoding is really the only reason why we upgraded to Final Cut Studio 2, so I'm going to feel rather foolish if this doesn't work out.

A QCluster network isn't designed to distribute Rendering from FCP, rather it's designed to distribute encoding tasks.
As mentioned in that thread you linked to, the best workflow I can think of in your situation is to export Quicktime reference movies from FCP, then bring those reference files into Compressor for distribution to the QCluster for the transcode to MPEG 2 for DVD. There is a wealth of good information in that thread.
In short, if you attempt to use a Cluster to export from FCP, then all of your nodes will need to have separate licenses of FCP. But if you use the reference movie method, FCP is not required for the encoding.
One question for clarification with your workflow, are you logging & capturing these clips then sending them directly to DVD? or are you editing them in a timeline prior to export to DVD?
If you're just using FCP as your Log & Capture tool, then you can skip the reference movie step and just grab the captured clips in your Capture Scratch folder and send those directly to Compressor.

How do I install lion on a macbook pro that has a MBR instead of GUID.

Not sure how that happened. Maybe when I installed parallels and Windows XP, but Lion apparently requires a GUID partition. I've backed up and copied all important files to an external drive. If I reformat the drive for GUID how do I restore Leopard so I can then upgrade to Lion. I lost me original disks. Can I make a boot disk from the current OS?

As you know you must install OS X on a GUID partitioned, Mac OS Extended, Journaled drive. You do not need to reinstall Snow Leopard in order to install Lion if you have a copy of the Lion installer. If you don't have a copy of the installer then I suggest you re-download Lion but save the installer on your external drive. Here's how you do that:
Download Lion Again Without Installing Snow Leopard First
There's an easy method to force a download within the Mac App Store without any tinkering. It seems to be the official method, although I found no description of this in any of Apple's documentation.
So here's how to do it:
Open the Mac App Store.
Navigate to your Purchased page.
Hold down the Option key on your keyboard and click on your 'OS X Lion' purchase link (not on the 'installed' button).
You see the Lion product page. It should say 'Installed,' but that button is clickable. Hold down the Option key again and click on 'Installed.' If you don't hold the option key it will tell you there's already a newer version installed.
Enter your login credentials.
Download.
It's important to hold down the Option key twice. Once on the Purchased page, once on the Lion page. You also can't navigate to Lion directly, you need to open it from the purchases page. But if you follow this procedure you should find the Lion Installer within your Applications folder.
Now, make yourself a bootable DVD or USB flash drive for installing Lion:
Make Your Own Lion Installer
1. After downloading Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Lion application. After Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing Lion.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
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.
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.
Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
3. Locate the saved Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility.
Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Drag the InstallESD.dmg disc image file into the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable Lion installer that you can use without having to re-download Lion.

How do I install Lion on a bare drive?

When major OS versions are released I wipe a drive completely and install the new OS and my apps. I do not use Migration assistant. I install clean.. from scratch. Over the years this has helped maintain a very stable OS and eliminated 90% of slowdowns, reinstalls, and troubleshooting.
But.. how do I do that with Lion? I do not want to install 10.6. I want to use a bare drive and install 10.7.
Do I download 10.7 burn the download to disc then use that? Will the download allow burning a boot disc?
Thanks!

BackupLionBootable 10.7 Disk
Purchaseanddownload Lion from the Mac App Store on any Lion compatibleMacrunning Snow Leopard.
Right click on “Mac OS X     Lion”     installer and choose the option to     “Show Package Contents.”
Inside the Contents folder     that     appears you will find a SharedSupport     folder and inside the     SharedSupport folder     you will find the “InstallESD.dmg.” This is         the Lion boot disc image we have all been waiting for.
Copy “InstallESD.dmg” to         another folder like the Desktop.
Launch Disk Utility and click     the     burn button.
Select the copied “InstallESD.dmg” as the image to     burn,     insert a standard sized 4.7 GB DVD,     and wait for your new Lion Boot     Disc to come     out toasty hot.
With this disc you can boot any Lion compatible Mac, andinstall10.7 just like you installed previous version of Mac OS X. Youcaneven use Disk Utility's Restore function to image your Lion bootdiscimage onto a external drive suitable for performing a cleaninstallon a optical-drive-less MacBook Air, or Mac mini server.
Installing Lion clean
How will customers perform a clean     upgrade of Lion?
And how will IT departments install Lion across multiple     Macs?
The answer to these questions is a MacFirst Aid Kit, a specially formatted external hard drive thatcontains the required operating system and software to install Liononto any compatible Mac. All it takes is seven easy steps.
Purchase and download Lion from     the Mac App Store on any Lion compatible Mac running Snow Leopard.
Right click on “Mac OS X Lion”     installer and choose the option to “Show Package Contents.”
Inside the Contents folder that     appears you will find a SharedSupport folder and inside the     SharedSupport folder you will find the “InstallESD.dmg.” This is     the Lion boot disc image we have all been waiting for.
Launch Disk Utility and go     straight to the restore tab. Drag “InstallESD.dmg” the Source     field, and drag your external hard drive from the left side of the     Disk Utility window into the Destination field. Check Erase     Destination, and begin your restore. (It goes without saying this     process will erase everything on your external hard drive.)
Once Disk Utility's restoration is     complete you will be the proud owner of a Mac Frist Aid Kit capable     of booting and installing Lion clean. Test out your creation by     restarting any Lion compatible Mac while holding the option key, and     choose Mac OS Install ESD as the startup volume.
Once booted from the Lion enabled     partition on your external drive ou will have the opportunity to run     Disk Utility and erase your Mac's primary hard drive. From the Erase     tab select your Mac's primary hard drive and choose “Mac OS     Extended (Journaled)” as the format. Before you erase the drive     confirm you have a known good backup then click Erase…
With your Mac's primary hard drive wiped clean it is now time     to begin installing Lion. Quit Disk Utility to go back to the Lion     installer. Choose your Mac's primary hard drive as the destination,     and continue.
When the installation process is complete your Mac will have aclean copy of Lion installed on its primary hard drive, and you willhave an Mac First Aid Kit suitable for installing Lion on other Macsin the future.
Shipping software costs money, burns fuel, and requires a trip tothe store. By releasing Lion exclusively though the Mac App StoreApple is saving money, reducing its carbon footprint, and giving itscustomers convenience. Customers who own a MacBook Air or Mac miniserver will benefit most from the lack of installation media becauseApple saw it fit to ship these computers without a built-in opticaldrive. Performing a clean install of Lion is not required, but withan external hard drive it is easy to do across multiple Macs.
