what if my buddy wanted to use my cd to install leopard on his mac? can apple see that and would it be blacklist? because he said he installed Microsoft office on his mac and his girlfirends mac;

btw my leopard is not a family pack

I think the single Leopard packs are made to ensure no one else shares the product

Not sure if it will work again, but you can always try and see what happens

BlueX is incorrect about it being made to ensure that you don't share.

He will be fine. There is no keycode associated with any install of Leopard, single license or family. No he will not be blacklisted for installing it on more than one machine.

Question then if you will, apart from being honest what is to stop someone from buying the single license for Leopard and installing it on multiple machines? could this not be done instead of buying a family license?

I would have thought apple would have had some sort of security in place during installation to stop people just copying the disks and giving it to freinds family etc?...

Its true there is no code it just installs. Maybe they can tell only when you register. BTW just dont register your copy

There is nothing illegal concerning installing one copy of Leopard on several machines. You may install your Leopard-copy on all the machines you can find if you want, as long as you are the owner and the user of the computers, hence the name "Single user", not "Single computer"

This is one of the benefits to Apple being a hardware company. No keys or activations. Except iWork, and I got really pissy about that one.

yea my boy did it for me i just didnt register it.

Then why the single or five user licence option?
