How many licenses does Mountain Lion include? Or is it just for one Mac?

Babowa

this does not help the OP in many ways.

one, you're just flat wrong.

two, they've moved on with what they wanted here.

borjasanz,

if you are receiving these: I apologize for all this nonsense and I hope you are happily running ML on both your machines. Please disregard anything said about this topic any further.

In the top right hand side of this page there is a link to "stop e-mail notifications" This will stop them from coming to your e-mail if you haven't already done so.

(again this should be at the top right hand side of your screen when you're on this page). Sorry for any inconvenience this has brought upon you).

I promise this isn't how it always is.

How can you that babowa is wrong? You were just provided with a large number of examples where the SLA explicitly states that there is no limit to the number of installs.

And this is completely relevant to the OP. The question was how many licenses do I have? The answer is as many macs that you own/control. The answer is NOT 5 as you have tried to prove. I don't want the OP to think there is a limit to 5 if he/she needs to use it on more than 5 macs.

I believe it is best to simply drop it; there is one thing that smokemonster is correct about:

any further discussion is not necessary since there is enough evidence to prove that I am correct:

Any app or software purchase from MAS is also subject to its individual SLA which specifically states that one can install it on all the computers one owns and controls.

This clarification is important for anyone reading this thread.

Mr. The Smoke Moniter, you are incorrect, I watched the 2011 and the 2012 Apple WWDC Keynotes sand they specifically stated that you only need to buy one Licence of Lion and Mountain Lion and that the Purchase includes your Current Mac and all Your future Mac's should you choose to run Lion or Mountain Lion on your future Mac's! I suggest that you re-watch both the 2011 and the 2012 WWDC Keynotes at http://developer.apple.com/ Just FYI.

When you pull out excerpts from a legal document, you really need to include the headers that describe exactly what that excerpt is describing. Here is the header for the section your posted:

When you first acquire App Store Products, as defined below, (excluding products acquired from the Mac App Store) or iBookstore Products, as defined below, through the App and Book Services (collectively, “Eligible Content”), you may elect to automatically receive (“auto-download”) copies of such Eligible Content on additional compatible iOS Devices and iTunes-authorized computers with compatible software by associating such iOS Devices and computers subject to the association rules below (each, an “Associated Device”).

What you excerpted applies to content such as music, books, and ios apps from the "App Store."

As I highlighted above, this paragraph specifically excludes "products acquired from the Mac App Store."

Additionaly,

MAC APP STORE PRODUCT USAGE RULES

Except as otherwise set forth herein,

i) If you are an individual acting in your personal capacity, you may download and use an application from the Mac App Store (“Mac App Store Product”) for personal, non-commercial use on any Apple-branded products running Mac OS X (“Mac Computer”) that you own or control.

You may wish to hang onto the "Except as otherwise set forth herein" to defend your previous post, but you can't because Mac App Store products are specifically excluded from the paragraph on which you hang your hat.

As has been pointed out before, the "five and dime" policies only apply to the App Store (read "iTunes store") products (music, books, ios apps).

That Restriction is for ITunes Only, you can actually install Mountain Lion without turning on ITunes if you need to install on more than 5 Mac's or if you need to do an Offline Install, as per the 2011 and 2012 WWDC Keynotes that 5 Mac Limit that applied to Snow Leopard no longer applies! Just FYI.

I need to buy a used Mac to test.

Sigh it would seem that OSX Daily points out the language in the WWDC 2011 keynote which shows Update on All Macs on the screen.

Apple surprises me yet again!

Now to get my hands on more then one apple computer... 😝

😁 Glad we got it sorted out. 😎

Good thing we won't have to wait in the Up To Date queue! 😁

I'm a commercial user but only have 4 mac in my company

Apple volume license required 20 minimum quantity

Then how can I do?😕

I am not sure about your situation; I think it might be best for you to contact Apple. I did find this in the licensing agreement - but I don't know if that would cover your situation:

Based on the exerpt posted by babowa, I would say it depends on how many users you have. Excluding yourself (as it says employee), you must have one license for every Mac/User combination that simultaneously uses each Mac. If all four Macs are used at the same time by four employees, then you'd need four licenses. If you only have two employees that use all of those Macs, you'd only need two.
