I have a MacBook Pro running 10.6 and a Mac Pro running 10.5.8.
Can I install 10.6 on the Mac Pro from the Installation DVD that came with the laptop or does Apple require me to buy the software twice?
Logic Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.8), Mac Pro 8 core/ Apogee Rosetta 800
The gray DVD that came with the laptop is machine specific and will only work with that Mac because it only has the drivers for that hardware on it.
No, you aren't buying Snow Leopard "twice". Each machine came with OS X, just not the same version. Apple still sells Snow Leopard for $29 with free shipping. It's actually the cheapest place to get it.
Thanks for adding that, Niel. I keep forgetting that option. 🙂
