There's a sticky about how to install without a DVD. Of course, your friend will need a licence.

Actually you don't need a licence to install Tiger. It never asks for a SN/Key. The only thing thats optional is registering it on the Apple website.

yes, we all know you can install it, but Legally you aren't allowed to unless you have your own license for each computer.
 
I'm surprised a thread like this where people are asking about illegally installing software hasn't been closed yet.

1) Software piracy is illegal
2) learn what a EULA is and read it

:cool:

Macmadant isn't necessarily asking help to do something illegal. Consider this: his friend came round with an iMac and a Tiger DVD asking for help installing it. Macmadant is now asking us for the same help.

The only offending poster here is JzzTrump22 (no offense, mate ;) ).

Take it easy guys - don't jump to conclusions.

Hmm, fair enough. ;)

yeh dont just to conclusions but he probably is undertaking a bit of piracy. "my mate" needs help usually needs he does!
 
Assuming your copy is legal, just send Apple their $10 and they will send you a CD version of Tiger. Problem solved.
