Where can i buy Lion Server?
Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
OS X Lion and Lion Server aren't sold anymore in the App Store, so now you have to call Apple to purchase OS X Lion or OS X Lion Server > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 They'll give you a redeem code that you will have to insert in the Mac App Store to install Lion Server

If I buy Lion Server for my iMac can I download Lion for free on my MacAir?

If I buy Lion Server for my iMac can I download Lion for free on my MacAir?

Well, it hasn't worked that way for me.
I bought Lion for $29 from the App Store this morning, and DLed/installed it on my MacBook Pro with no problem. This afternoon I went to upgrade my Snow Leopard Server Mac Mini. Went to the App Store, clicked the Lion Server at $49.99, and was prompted that "because this is an OS X server, you must purchase a OS X Lion as well as OS X Lion Server, for $79.98" [Cancel] [Purchase Both]
If I try to install just Lion from my "Purchased" list in App Store, I get exactly the same message. If I try to install Lion from an install DVD, I get a "checking with App Store" and then the same message.
Spent over an hour on the phone with Enterprise Sales, who agreed that's not what was supposed to happen, but had no resolution. It isn't critical to me timewise so they are mulling the situation over.
My recommendation if you have SLS and clients to upgrade is to do the Lion/Lion Server purchase *first* for the server. Hopefully then the Lion license will be available for your other machines. I can't guarantee it, but I can guarantee that the other way *doesn't* work.

Why I have to buy Lion Server and Lion for $83.98???

I want to upgrade my MAC OS X Server 10.6.8 to Lion Server......
But the App store insists I buy Lion as well... AND it has tried to charge me $83.98 for it.... (The Australian dollar is closely on parity with US dollar)..
So.. I already downloaded Lion.... and installed on my imac.... now I want to upgrade my server.. why do I have to buy lion again??? And why so expensive compared to the rest of the world??

For those that don't see the prompt to buy Lion + Lion Server again, there's no need to respond because you aren't having this issue and any obvious input, is just that.. obvious.
For those with this issue, Apple Care won't be able help you because it's a download issue and not an install issue and they suggested to contact the Mac App Store (iTunes Store) support for assistance. Sadly it's e-mail only and probably will take some time. You could try a clean install of SLS to upgrade to LS, but that still might not work. Other than attempting the pain of wasting a day to do a fresh install before the upgrade, I've tried logging out and back in with the Mac Store, created a second admin account and used the same AppleID and both still prompted me to Buy Lion+Lion server again.
For those that haven't clicked on the buy, I still hit an issue that preventing me from downloading the Lion Server after the 4GB Lion image downloaded. You will probably have to request the refund if you attempted this, but guessing you still won't be able to install. Also if you try to upgrade from SLS to just Lion, you will be prompted to buy Lion Server as well. So in the end, it's up to the Mac App Store e-mail to resolve this or perhaps I can attempt to do the clean install.

Need to buy Lion Server when buying Mac Mini Server?

Hi there,
Last week I bought a Mac Mini Server. Do I need to pay for the Lion Server part in the App store separate?
Cheers.

That is correct. I did not find the Lion Server App at first. Now I found it. No need to buy.
Thanks!

How to buy Lion Server?

Alright folks, I've got a Macbook 4.1 that can not receive the new Mountain Lion update. I am going to upgrade it in a few months for a new Pro for me and another one for my wife, but it leaves me with a pretty decent machine to use as a server around the house and to learn with. Is it possible to still buy the server app for Lion? And if so, how?

For the Mini you must have Lion client installed to purchase the Server. You can download Lion from the Mini while it's running Snow Leopard. Once Lion is installed you should then be able to purchase the Server.
Unlike past OS X Server releases the bulk of the software is within the Lion client. The Server is more or less a type of add-on to provide all the Server utilities and support. It's a relatively small download compared to the client.

Where to buy Windows Server data Center (BOX) (Retail)

Hey Everyone ,
Can somebody please point me to the right direction of buying windows server 2012 R2 Data Center edition in a box ?
I want the retail one .. the OEM's are everywhere like in amazon or HP or ..
but I think the OEM is not suitable for me because I have a variety of hard wares like IBM , Cisco and HP so OEM is out of the question .
I searched everywhere but there is no retail version at sight .
Oh I find the Standard edition on Microsoft Store . but there where no data Center .
If anyone have any document that says there's no retail version of DC edition it would be very much appreciated as well .
thanks again .
Good Day .

You can't buy the datacenter edition as retail.

Where to buy Lion for Macbook?

I have a Mac mini early 2008, running Snow Leopard. I never upgraded to Lion because my Internet connection was too slow. Now my connection is fast enough, but I can no longer buy Lion? My Mac will not run Mountain Lion. If I have to order over the phone or by email, how much does it cost? Do I get a downlaod code or is it shipped? Thank you.

Upgrading to Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
         7. Xserve (Early 2009)
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
     Am I eligible for the free upgrade?
         See Apple - Free OS X Mountain Lion upgrade Program.

Lion Server for Home use reality check

Hi All,
as many others I had the best intentions buying Lion Server for my home network (5 Macs, 2 iPads, 2 iPhones) to manage everything.
It was destined to be a central server for user management, configuration management, home directories, file server, software update server, web server and Time Machine server and possible VPN gateway to my home network.
I did not intended to use as Address Book, iCal, Mail server as I use iCloud. I just don't see the point of iChat, Podcast, Wiki server for my home use.
Anyway the bits I had to abandon so far are:
configuration management - Profile Manager works only sometimes and is sluggish to say the least
home directories - the home sync just doesn't work for Mac libraries such as iPhoto and iTunes
software update server - worked, broke, fixed, worked, broke, fixed, ... going away with Mountain Lion.
What works for me is user management, file server, web server and Time Machine backup, haven't gotten around to test VPN yet.
Given that Mountain Lion is coming next month and presumably I'll have to buy new license for the Server version I am not sure if it's worth it.
As I see it using a plain vanilla Lion or Mountain Lion system I can still do file server, web server and Time Machine backup. What I'd lose is the user management and I am not sure about VPN on a non-Server system but not really important. User management is a one time task for 5 Macs that's it.
Would be interested to hear opinions from you folks about pros / cons of using a plain Lion or Mountain Lion OS X for server tasks vs Server version?
Anything I am missing here?
Thanks
Andy

most osx server issues are usually DNS problems
if that is not correct practically nothing else will work correctly
That's probably true but also within that lies a major problem how this is positioned "The Server for Everyone". I am in IT and know what a DNS is. Most home users would NOT have a DNS running as it's not necessary not even talking about SSL certificates. I think this is a major problem here that it market incorrectly.

if your trying to have portable home directories and having iphoto library sync'd
I don't recomend on wireless , even on a wired 1gb network it's slow
use WGM to skip iphoto or be prepaired for a long wait
It's not so much a network bandwidth problem but the fact that home sync doesn't work for package files such as iPhoto, etc. Many people have confirmed that that home sync actually corrupts those files.

Don't intend to do terminal but for example take "File Sharing". It's an Server option but every Mac also has file sharing under the "Sharing Settings". As far as I can tell the server actuallty is just an overlay over the Mac sharing option because if I define a file share it's also updated in the sharing option.
Same thing goes for the Webserver. Hence I am thinking that Server really only is a central console for some basic services that can also be available by using standard OS X functionality.

How to reinstall OS X Lion Server

I'm newbie os x admin . I bought new Mac Mini 2010 with Lion Server. I want to do RAID 0 with my HDD.
I make image for Recovery Partition. Then format partition and do RAID 0.
I setup with Mac OS X Lion 10.7 GM build 11A511
I success to install but .... No Lion Server.
I try to check Mac Store but I found I need to buy Lion Server License ?
These is my Question
1. Lion Server that pre-install with Mac Mini is not license version or not?
2. Should I restore from recovery partition and get Lion Server from them ?
3. How I make recovery DVD or anything that easy to reinstall ?
Thank You very much.

The 2010 Mac mini Server did not come with Lion Server, it was shipped with Snow Leopard Server. To go from Snow Leopard to Lion is a paid upgrade, not a free update. Up until Snow Leopard there was a SL client OS and a SL Server OS. Now Lion Server is an add-on purchase to the Lion client. So you must buy and install the Lion client, then the second step is to buy and install the Lion Server add-on. You purchase both Lion and Lion Server through the Mac App Store.

Use Lion Server to set up security in Web Sharing

Can I use Lion Server to set up security in Web Sharing?
I want a password prompt to appear when someone comes to look at my Web Sharing files.
I have tried to do this manually in Snow Leopard and Lion, and am considering buying Lion Server just for this one purpose.
Does the admin GUI in Lion Server have an option that allows you to set up a password prompt for folks that look at my Web Sharing files?
THanks.
mac

Miracles do happen.
Because I just bought Lion Server, I was able to get a guy from the Apple Server support group on the phone, for a long time, and he helped me set this up using the Server app and the Server Admin app.
Now I have a password prompt on my Web Sharing files.
It's an incredible relief to have this working.
Thanks for the responses.

Is it possible to install Lion Server over regular Lion?

I am considering buying Lion Server, so that I can get a feel for administering it (my background is in Windows Server and Warp Server for eBusiness). I have a 2010 21.5" iMac, which I upgraded to Lion a couple of weeks ago. I also have a MacBook Air with Lion.
I am wondering if I can just purchase Lion Server from the App Store and install it on my iMac, using the MBA as a client machine.
(1) Is this possible?
(2) Will I still be able to use the iMac as a regular machine, running (principally) Aperture and later on Final Cut Pro X as local programs
(3) What likely pitfalls am I going to encounter, and what (other than the client services) will I gain? I'm thinking that hosting Podcasts might be useful, but I don't know much about it
and finally,
(4) What resources are there to help me migrate my skills from Windows Server?
TIA,
Thomas

The other option is boot from your restore partition use diskutility to add third partition then use the reinstall lion option to install lion on 3rd partition, this will then download lion for you and reinstall it!
When this is done you can set it up properly (static ip etc) and then download the server app and install it!
Depending on what you want to do running it as your machine is not a big problem it works fine just keep in mind you might need to restart a few times and if you using it as a server that could be an issue!
in order to boot from your restore partition just reboot and hold down <alt>

Is Lion Server just Lion with added server tools ?

From what I am reading, buying Lion Server is just the same as buying Lion..... except you get some additional tools ? I have never had the server version of OS X before... but I always thought that installing the Server version (at least prior to Lion) would not always give you the same experience as purchasing the non-server version....
I only own mac laptops right now, but was thinking seriously about using one for a server..... and for $49 I can get it, install it as a server on one, and non-server on the remainder ?
TJ

Correct.

Oh...... so if I read this right.... the total cost for setting up a Lion Server is $29 for Lion + $49 for the server tools.... so $88 total....
I didn't catch on to that prior.....

Cannot install Lion Server

I launch Server.app, click 'Continue', accept licence, 'Continue', it asks for my admin user/pass which I give then click again on 'Continue'.
Then, it stops forever at 'Configuring services'.
In console, I have 7 lines like
authorizationhost : SFBuiltinEntitled: Server.app is not entitled for com.apple.ServiceManagement.daemons.modify
(the 7 only differs after 'for') then one with
com.apple.SecurityServer : Failed to authorize right 'system.install.app-store-software' by client '/System/Library/PrivateFrameWorks/PackageKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/in stalld' [481] for authorization created by '/Applications/Server.app' [460]
But, I entered my regular user/pass, the same account I used to buy Lion Server; the same I use to update software. So, why my admin account is not enough to configure Lion Server services?
Any ideas are welcome!

+1 same issue for me too.
I have a wireless connection though, wondering if it is a wired connection that is being asked for here?

HT4770 where can i download lion server?

Where can I download OSX Lion Server?

Now that Mountain Lion is out, you can't buy older versions of OSX directly from the Apple Store. However, you can try calling Apple (1-800-MY-APPLE) and tell them that your hardware doesn't support Mountain Lion. I'm sure they still have copies of Lion. It's not like they destroy all traces of previous versions of OSX every time a new version is released.

Where can I download lion server app

I can't find a copy of lion server app anywhere not even when I contacted apple. Does anyone know where can I find it?
