Got an older PowerMac G4 the other day. Also had some OS X's from collecting OS's over the years. What are the rules on installing this OS X Tiger on the older PowerMac?
Is this allowed by Apple? Do I have to register anything? Do I have to update to get registered or activated?
Don't want to screw up my OS 9 in the process and have a Mac without an OS.

i am talking about rules for installing OS X on a Mac and legaling using it just like Microsoft needs Activation.
Sorry but, I personally don't have (or need) a clue. :)

Apple has never had a serial number or 'activation' rigamarole on their OS's. Hopefully they never will. I believe that the basic confidence that Apple has that they've sold the hardware that the OS is running on is enough for them. That and that Mac users tend to be more honest than Windows users.
Thanks
You're welcome. :)
