Im not sure if anyone will be able to answer this but I was wondering if one copy of Leopard will be able to be installed over several Macs or will each Mac need its own individual copy?
Got a tip for us?

Legally you need the family pack.
Technically you can install it on as many machines as you please.

I was wondering the same thing, so you don't need a unique serial or anything for each install? How much is the family pack compared to the one install?
Nope, no serials or activation nonsense.
Is it that hard to look at the Apple site?
The family pack is £139 Vs £89 for the normal version of OS X Tiger and Leopard should be the same (Apple Software Page)
i didnt realise they offered a family pack but i guess its a good thing and only £50 more expensive
Ya think? Maybe because it's not for sale yet?
The OS X releases have been $79 educational, $129 single user and $199 family pack so far.
Convert that to pounds, add on whatever taxes and include the surcharge for being outside of the US and you have your price.
There is no final build or formal announcement of any release date yet, let alone pricing.
That said, fairly safe to assume it will follow pricing for 10.4.
Hopefully!
i thought during the last keynote where jobs talked about leopard that all versions would be $129?
Yeah pricing is actually the thing we know, Steve pushed it in the last Leopard keynote, $129. Student pricing is questionable with the recent changes with iLife and iWork.
Release date may come at the 18th event. Unless they plan another one. I expect Leopard to hit on October 30th or 31st. 26th if they want it to be a weekend thing.

I think the 31st as the UK student free ipod deal ends on the 30th. Why one day before the end of the month.
The 26th is the most likely date, as the past several versions of OS X have been released on a Friday @ 6PM (local time), so Apple stores and resellers can have release parties. Considering it's been 2.5 years since a new OS release, a Friday release party is almost certain.
Actually pricing has been announced and it will be the same as Tiger. So £89 for Leopard.
