moving snow leopard to different machine

[dazed]

Hi,

I have a store bought copy of SL installed on my mac mini which is now dead. If i'm no longer using SL on this machine can i reinstall it on another mac ?

Is this legal ? Any thing i need to do before I reinstall ? I know its not like windows where it needs to be activated but i'm not that familiar with the mac world so thought id ask


Thanks

Yes, you can install it on any machine. Is it legal? Not sure, you'd have to read the small print.

Any thing i need to do before I reinstall ?

Only a backup, just incase.

I'm 99% sure it's legal--Apple's boxed software license allows installation on one computer, and includes no language I've ever seen about not being able to transfer it to another computer or owner.

And as said, there's no copy protection whatsoever--install away.
