Installing Leopard on two machines

[Luis Ortega]

I have noticed that most software licenses allow the software to be installed on your main desktop computer plus your laptop computer.
Is this also the case with Leopard?
If I buy a Mac Pro that comes pre-installed with Leopard in the near future, can I also use its Leopard install disks to install Leopard on my MBP which came with Tiger pre-installed?
Thanks for any advice.

Apples' software license is a "single use" license and you are not supposed to have it installed on more than one computer at a time.

Plus.....the version that comes bundled with a Mac Pro may well be set up to only install on a Mac Pro.......some believe that's done to prevent people from doing exactly what you're wondering about!
