[QUOTE="RavingMac, post: 1273247, member: 45350"] I think all of these questions have been answered before, but since you got such conflicting answers from the Apple Store employees here goes: "If I buy Lion here and download it to my Macbook, can I take it home and install it on three (of mine) Snow Leopard Macs?" 1. Yes - Provided all of the Snow Leopard Macs are capable (minimum Hardware requirement) of running Lion 2. Yes - Provided you don't actually install Lion. If you download and stop you can follow the handy directions (search on the Forums for the directions) on creating a bootable DvD or USB Drive 3. Yes - Up to 5 Macs at no additional cost 4. Yes - Installing from the bootable drive is easy and works well. I did this on my wife's MacBook. Not because I don't have highspeed internet, but to test the drive and to save 20 minutes download time. No problems and she is running Lion from that install.
