Can anyone comment authoritatively? If I buy a full retail copy of Snow Leopard, can I run it on my own hardware?
Thanks for any insights.
You can run it - I loaded Snow Leopard onto a Dell Mini for travel -
But by doing so you violate the End User Licence Agreement (EULA), which everyone installing Leopard is supposed to read and accept, says:
"This Licence allows you to install, use and run one (1) copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-labeled computer at a time. You agree not to install, use or run the Apple Software on any non-Apple-labeled computer, or to enable others to do so."
I actually have an Apple logo sticker on the Dell - although I'm not sure that this is what Apple had in mind when they talk about an 'Apple-labeled computer'
