New iMac, original copy of iWork, not working right...

[dpaanlka]

I installed an original 2009 copy of iWork on a disc onto a new iMac that has Mountain Lion. I enter the activation number on my admin account and it runs and everything okay. But every other user, it presents the screen to "buy or try" again, asking for a serial number. It's like it's not activating for everybody, only the user from which I installed it. It did this on both a new iMac and a brand new Mac Mini.

What might be going on here?

Possible solution.

Sadly, that doesn't seem to solve the problem. Also, keep in mind this is also a new installation on brand-new machines.

Brand new machine? Call Apple phone support, you paid for it.

Out of curiosity did you update the iWork suite after installing?

There is no software code for iWork 09, it should automatically register with Apple when you first open Pages or Numbers.

A possible alternative -

When you have installed them on your admin account.

Go to Applications > iWork 09 > Pages, right click and choose get info. Go down to the Sharing and Permissions, fiddle with these settings.

I can't actually say if this works as only I use my machine.
