Nov 19, 2007 8:30 AM in response to rcassettyjrby Grant Bennet-Alder,Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
the bad news:
The DVDs that came with a different Mac will work only on that Mac. It would also be a violation of your license agreement to install on another Mac without an additional license. You would put your business profits, and the very existence of your company at risk. It creates an exposure that, if not reported to insurers, creditors, and shareholders, could be deemed fraudulent. "Don't bet your business on 'borrowed' software."
the good news:
10.2.8 already supports SMB Windows File Sharing and Print Sharing. Mac Networking software available from 7.5.3 onward is forward and backward compatible with other Mac Networking software through 10.3.9. After 10.3.9, File Sharing with pre-OS 9 Macs is more difficult, but still possible. ssh and VPN are also supported, but you will need to download a VPN Client that works with your Mac OS, such as 'Chicken of the VNC'.
