Mac OS X 10.2 Security Upgrade

[King Cobra]

plastic, I'm just pulling a pun (as supposed to other things 😀) since you double-posted.

As for Jaguar possibly detecting duplicate installations, I don't see how this is possible with the installation (excpet if you link up two computers, maybe). I don't even see how this is done on Windoze.

Just for the record

I've got 10.2 installed on 3 networked machines and it's great 😀

if you are updating from Software Update in the System preference, highlight the item/s you want to update and just before quitting (after the update) select Save As from the update menu...

Cheers people.

3 machines here in house, I had bought em all within 2 years, and they released the family pack after I ordered my 10.2, their bad timing

The ball is in Apple's court

I've written to Apple suggesting that they must do something for those in your position and mine. I have just got a new iBook with 10.2. We should either be able to upgrade to a Family Pack for $70, or be able to buy additional licences for $20 each. Otherwise we are being penalised yet again for early adoption.

couldn't you have cancelled your 10.2 single license order and reordered family pack? or just upgraded?

I did cancel

As soon as I heard about the Family Pack, I did cancel my Single-User Licence order, but Apple UK were not offering the Family Pack until a couple of days ago, nor is there apparently any way to upgrade from the Single User to Family Pack. Meanwhile, I took delivery of a new iBook, which came with a 10.2 upgrade CD (actually 2 CDs). So now my position is that I have 10.2, which I have paid for with my iBook. Why should I have to buy a Family Licence, as I have already bought one copy? Apple MUST sort this out. People in my position, and for that matter people who have already bought standalone copies of 10.2 Single User, should have the option of adding licences at, say, $20 each (or $19.95!), or adding four for $70, to match the Family Pack price. Otherwise we are just being shafted. In the absence of any equitable deal, I have loaded 10.2 on all my Macs, and I await Apple's decision on whether they will offer me a way to be legal without paying through the nose. A fair deal is all I want, and I have written to Apple to put my point. I believe this is a thoroughly valid stance.

Skunk...I know what you are thinking but it doesn't really work like that. Lets just say that you got your iBook with 10.2 already installed on it and the 10.2 CD's were your backup copy, should you still be eligalbe for the Family Pack? you didn't buy the license, that is just the license that came with your computer.

Sure I bought the licence. That's part of the cost of the computer.

I am very tried but i think that I have a point. Hold on, here we go. What if you had to reinstall your system. How would apple know if you were reinstalling or adding to a new computer? Hmmm... I have 9 running on my iMac DV (hasent been on in six months) and X on my TI PB. So I dont care. Saving my pennies for 10.2. I was thinking of useing my wife's "teacher discount".😉 Anyway, very tried,, wife is waking up, getting ready for work. Wants to know why I am still up? Looks mad. Gotta go.

yes it is bundled into the cost of the computer but there isn't any way to 'upgrade' that to a family pack..besides you have the upgrade to 10.2 and that is a totaly different ball of wax
