I'm sitting on the fence for Leopard too.. Do I have to get a Family Pack since I'll be upgrading my PowerBook as well as my girlfriends PowerBook? I know single-user means "one computer only," but is there anything preventing it from being installed on another machine? Anything like the Windows XP activation, so-to-speak?

I mean, in all reality, $200 for a 5-user license is cheaper than $130 each. I save $60 by purchasing the Fam. Pack. Either way, I'm going to do what's best/legal of course.

Click to expand...

It's the same software, you're just licensed to have it installed on more than one computer.

If you want to be saintly, then buy the family pack, but there's really nothing stopping you from installing one copy on multiple computers.
