Lion, multiple Macs, and licensing

[Demigod Mac]

I don't believe I've heard a clear answer on this.

What's Apple's stance on those of us who own multiple Macs and want to upgrade all of them to Lion? One Apple ID = unlimited installs for an individual, or do they expect one person to buy a copy for each Mac?

What about family packs for households with multiple Macs?

One regular Lion purchase on the store allows you to install it on up to 5 Macs.

But they've got to use the same Apple ID.

And is there some possibility to download just one copy of the installation file and install it on multiple macs (with same or different ID)?

download the installer, extract the dmg, restore it to a USB drive and install Lion on as many machines as you'd like.

Ok, I'll try it. Tanks for advice🙂

Is that the same for the server version as well?

I'm confused, so if I download lion on my mac, extract the installer and put it on a disc. I can then install the original version on my imac and use the disc to upgrade my wife's macbook pro? So how does the verification work for my wife's mac? Do I sign in with my apple id during the installation process/sign in after first boot up? or is it easier than that, does it only need your apple id to actually download the installer?
