Single Use, Family Pack and Leopard Upgrade Licenses for use on Apple-branded Systems Note: One strange thing about the Snow Leopard SLA: the word snow never appears. There is only the requirement for the purchase of a SLA for each actual or virtual simultaneous execution of Snow Leopard. There is nothing in the SLA stating Snow Leopard can not be run virtually. The SLA for Snow Leopard simply states a single Apple-branded computer.
In other words, the later SLA's allow for simultaneous executions of the same licensed operating system, as long as the additional executions are in virtual machines.įor example, the SLA for Mavericks contains the word directly in 2.B.(i) which would indicate a non-virtual execution, but 2.B.(iii) then allows for virtual executions. But, these later references are in addition to the requirements for the first installation. I know the SLA for Snow Leopard does not explicitly refer to virtual machines and the SLA for later versions of OS X and macOS do make such references.
There is no requirement that the machine be physical or virtual, as long as the physical hardware is Apple. Snow Leopard will boot and execute using Apple hardware.īasically the SLA requires you run Snow Leopard on only one Apple machine at a time. Here still is only one copy of Snow Leopard installed on the external drive. VirtualBox would then be used to boot from the physical external drive. To be clear, I intend for the OP to leave Snow Leopard on the external drive. There is some controversy regarding whether running Snow Leopard in a VirtualBox virtual machine would violate the SLA. This option might require Snow Leopard be version 10.6.8. This should be either Yosemite or El Capitan.
Transferred the file to the 2013 iMac and install the software.Īnother possibility would be to boot to OS X Recovery over the internet and upgrade Snow Leopard to the OS X that was originally installed on your iMac.
