Q: Will Logic Pro 9.1.6 run on Lion Server?
Does anyone have Logic Pro 9.1.6 running on Lion Server? I am planning to buy a Mac Mini Server, which I know has Lion Server preinstalled, but has the processor power and hard disk space that I need.
If needs be, I'll install plain old Lion (which I know will involve a bit of jiggery pokery), but if Logic'll work on Lion Server, there's no point.

I'm running Logic 9.1.6 on a current Mac Mini Server - got it roughly 2 weeks ago. The OS version is no different from a 'standard' non server Mac. The server just also comes with additional server software. I haven't run into ANY issues whatsoever. I replaced an '07 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo iMac - performance is much much better on the Mini Server. Additionally, because of the Hyperthreading capabilities of the 4 Core i7, Logic 'sees' 8 CPU cores instead of 4. Seems to make a big difference too.
Long and short of it - the Mac Mini Server seems to be Apple's great 'secret'. Go for it. Just when you initially set up the machine, don't select to run any of the server stuff. Doesn't hurt to also follow the steps in the thread about disabling the Lion Server functions....
I definitely recommend taking the machine to 8Gb - $40 here....
