I couldn't find the answer to my query in the forums so here goes.

I own both a 12" PowerBook and a Mac Mini and will be purchasing a Tiger as soon as I get enough money. What I want to know is if I only need to go one copy of Tiger to use on both macs, or do I need a multi-licence one?

Sorry if this is a stupid question, I'm relatively new to Macs.

Cheers

You need the Family Pack... installing a single licence version on two machines is possible but in violence of the EULA, even if you're the main (or only) user on both machines and/or only use one at the time...

We been over this a couple of times, and it should be possible to find the answer if you'd searched...

Hiya

I asked this question too, and the general concensus was that I'd need to buy the family pack version, which unlike with Windows I'm quite happy to do.

Besides, it doesn't actually work out to be *that* much more expensive... :)
