I am looking into getting iLife 08, probably order it today. Should I get the Single user or Family? Now for a little background information, we have 2 Macs in the family. One is a PBG4 and the other is a latest generation White MacBook (baseline). I am just wondering if the single would gripe at me about having it installed on 2 machines, we probably won't have it running at the same time anyway. Just let me know, I know it is only $20 more for Family but I only have 2 computers and have no intention of getting any used Macs that would need the iLife 08 installed on them.


Thanks
Christopher

Legally you should have a licence for each installation.

Technically you don't have to since there are no serial numbers/activation.

The system requirements are a bit vague--after saying you need at least an iMac G5 1.9 Ghz, the requirements later state "Other configurations may be supported." This after saying a G4, G5, or Intel CPU is required.

I'd be surprised if anything except iMovie had any trouble...but it would be nice if Apple were a bit more explicit.

Re license--if you're going to install it on more than one computer, you need the family pack. And for heaven's sake, it's cheap!
