Installing Mac OS X 10.5 on two Mac computer's.

Hi everyone,

I brought a Macbook Pro in Nov 07 and unlucky for me got given the Tiger operating system. I have only just found out that I was due a free upgrade to leopard but it seems this offer has expired. I'm pretty mad about the situation as I felt a little cheated by Apple.

Meanwhile my mum has just brought a new iMac with the leopard operating system that I want and desperately need. I'm in no situation right now to buy it as i'm dead broke.

My Question: Can I use these discs that come with her iMac to upgrade my own Macbook Pro. I wouldn't see this as copyright theft as I should of been given this operating system in the first place. I paid good money for my computer.

Cheers for your help and advice everyone

No, you can't.
The discs are machine specific and will only work with the machine type they are packaged with.

I would suggest contacting Apple to see if they would still honor the OS upgrade on your machine or not.

Cheers for the info mate.

The offer ended at the end of 2007. Dam Apple!

Does anyone have an email address or anything?
