About Final Cut Pro on family sharing

I’m planning on buying 2 Mac minis for our small business and need Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro on both - can I use my family share plan to install this software on both computers?

First, my business is a small family business. Trying to make smarter buying decisions, for my adult son and me, by asking the community if software can be shared is logical. If I had a bottomless pit of money I might not mind paying four times for two identical sets of software but I’m looking for everywhere to keep cost down. I am aware that Apple has special pricing for businesses however I haven’t explored that option yet.


The photo of Steve? It’s a personal recognition to his genius - I miss him being the driving force of Apple’s brilliant innovation and elegant design along with Wozniak’s engineering genius.


I could have put a photo of my pet cockatoo in there but his design accomplishments are more along the lines of “ravaged cardboard shredding.”


You’d likely counter, You don’t need to put any image in here at all.


very true.

Even if it's a family business, it's still a business. Family sharing is for personal use only. If you decide that you're going to ignore that restriction, there is nothing anyone here can do to stop you.

Posting large, irrelevant images (besides possibly being a TOU violation)makes the threads more challenging to read. Once a thread gets longer, people have to scroll past the image to find the next post. And everyone's time gets wasted clarifying their purpose (or lack thereof) in the forum.


Best of luck.
