Installing Snow Leopard

[Jetheat]

I've got Snow Leopard sitting on my hard drive in the form of a DMG file.

How do I install this new operating system?

Do I have it converted into an iso file and then burnt onto a DL DVD and then run that or can I simply run it from its mounted position.

Is there a way I can do it with my time machine?

Appreciate the help.

Where did you get this DMG from? Aside from Apple developer releases (which tell you how to install them) all legal version of SL come on DVD.

Don't worry, this is legal.

A friend of mine has multiple licenses and uploaded the compressed format for me to download. He has allowed me to use one of his family pack licenses.

So how do i do this?

That is not legal: the family pack licenses cannot be split like this. You have an illegal pirated copy of Snow Leopard.

According to my friend, you can....

Your friend is wrong. He should read the license agreement.

The Family Pack Software License Agreement allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple software on up to a maximum of five (5) Apple-labeled computers at a time as long as those computers are located in the same household and used by persons who occupy that household. By "household" we mean a person or persons who share the same housing unit such as a home, apartment, mobile home, or condominium, including students who are primary residents of that household but reside at a separate on-campus location. This license does not extend to business or commercial users.

Anyhow, how is this process done.

No worries, it's super easy.

Buy the DVD, shove it in, install.

And as such I reported this thread to the moderators as soon as the OP confirmed he had a pirated copy of Snow Leopard. I'm sure it will be locked in due course.
