I saw some similar posts, but none of them actually seemed to answer my specific question ...
I am running a
MacBook 2 GHz Intel Core Duo with 512 MB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM
(so not the newest computer on the lot ...)
The computer I am using is for my degree program which owns a liscencing copy of leopard for the use of its students. I had installed Leopard shortly after Christmas and it was running great. (BIIIIG fan of TimeMachine...)
Shortly after I returned to work, my computer crashed and I did not have access to the schools discs of Leopard so I retuned to Tiger. I finally got ahold of the schools disc and when I put it into my machine I got the "cannot be installed on this machine message."
I thought this was weird so I checked it on my roomates computer
(Macbook Pro
And the Leopard CD installed completely fine.
This led me to conclude that the CD must not be keyed to a specific computer, but maybe a specific computer type? ... and if so, it must have been a different disc that I used previously ... (the school does have multiple copies of Leopard I assume)
Can anyone help me figure out what is going on with Leopard? ANY help would be greatly appreciated ...
