I just ordered Snow Leopard for $9.95 since I just purchased the MBP 13. My question, I have the MBP 15, 2.53 I bought in March. Will I be able to use the disk on both computers or will there be something built in to prevent that??
Got a tip for us?

Im guessing it will link to the serial number of your laptop or something like that. You can buy a family pack which gives you a considerable discount when compared with buying individual licenses for multiple computers.
Generally OS X operating systems have never phoned home or required serial numbers or any sort of system pairing.
its a general rule that its meant for single licensed use.
Now there is no official word on if SL will need a serial, at this point it just needs an installation of Leopard...so I'll go on a limb and say no, no other requirements are necessary.
Also, it probably wouldnt have any negative affect on you to use the same install disc on multiple computers; its just against the EULA.
ive had to use a single disk image of Leopard to restore multiple macs off the same installation and nothing negative happened though they do have their own installation discs , it was just easier to do it off one single image.
