[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1384144"] You are allowed to install Lion on every eligible Mac in your household under the one license. You can't put Lion on your friends' machine, but every machine you control that CAN run Lion can use the same installer. That's why there's no "family pack." As for the rest of the upgrades, it's really a lot less painful and less expensive to budget a modest amount each year for keeping the software up-to-date and other such upgrades. I did my RAM one year, hard drive the next, etc. For $500 you're a third of the way to a brand new Mac (and halfway to a refurb) so there's also that to consider. [/QUOTE]
