Hi guys

I have just got iWork 08 as i got my MB together. So if i decide to get, say, an iMac later on, is it illegal to install that same iWork 08 into the new iMac?
Just a precaution.

Thanks:D

i think it all depends on your license. Im not sure if you are meant to or not but i doubt you will get in to any trouble if you do.

yea. i mean, i have already registered the iWork 08 i am using now. im sure if i install the iWork 08 AGAIN on maybe a different machine, i will be able to use the same installation key, but wont be able to register again. Like you said, im not sure if im meant to do this or not.

Any help guys, those with more than one machines?

It depends on the license. Usually one copy is for one machine. Sometimes you can buy a 10 machine license, etc.

You'd have to check your licence agreement: some do allow you to install the same software on two computers, one portable and one desktop.
