Update one computer, use update on another?

[^^ CoolMacLover]

Hay i have a question, are you able to update one computer (iMac) and send to either another imac or laptop?

eg.

Installed update 10.6.3 on my iMac, and I able to use that same update on my MBP WITHOUT having to download it again? Like using the update file i downloaded and installed on my mac and sending (via say bluetooth) to laptop and installing?

It should work if you download the file from Apple support manually, if you use software update I guess it's better to let the program download again.

I'd do that, but i have a small (for me) download limit so i need to try and save internet as i can.

You can't do it now as I have no idea where the Software Update files go and I doubt anyone have. In future, look at Apple's support downloads, e.g. here is the 10.6.3 update you would need.

Software Update used to have an option to save update packages as it installed. I don't see it in Snow Leopard, but that may just be because my system is up-to-date. Regardless, you can always get them from Apple's support website.
