Installing iWork 08 a new mac

[macman44]

Hi there,


I have iWork 08 on my iMac, but want it on my MacBook as well. What would happen if I used the same software key to install it on both machines?

Also, how could I install it on the MacBook, as I bought it as a download (i.e. I have no CD).

Any help would be much appreciated.


Thanks

if it is family pack and you still have uses then it will work fine but if you don't then it won't work

It's not a family pack. If I uninstall it off the iMac will I be able to install it on the MacBook?

No technical constraints here. You can do this in principle, but you can not do this legally.

alright so this is what will happen you can install it on both but cannot run them at the same time my dad and i did this with photoshop and it worked

This is correct. The iWork applications do not check for other copies on your network using the same serial number. The family pack is identical to the single user version except it is licensed for five installs instead of one.

Hi, like others said.

I think the install it will work, but this will not be legally.

Instead if you purchase the family pack you will have 5 licensed uisers.

some applications, will check in the network if the same key is being used, if thats the case, then your application will not work, only 1.

the best you can do. I install the application were you will use the most. and uninstall the other one, (if you have it installed but not entered the key yet).

Or buy the family pack, and install it up to 5 computers.

You have to decide.

I hope this help.

Cheers!

Check the license conditions

I have Aperture on my iMac and just installed it on my new MacBook Pro. The license conditions specifically allow this without having to buy a family pack.

I don't have iWork, so I don't know if this has the same condition, but they are both Mac software, so I don't see why they won't.

cheers
