Hi Micheal,
Sny idea how a deaf person can get this?
I almost missed this post!
You could act as the intermediary and order a copy for a deaf person who reimburses you by paypal.
I am the deaf person! 😟
I'll be happy to assist. Contact me at AOL
Sent... I think, thanks. 🙂

Is this still available? I tried calling the number and gave them the part number, but the agent wasn't able to find the Server product in the system. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Try calling again with a different agent. For some reason, it is sometimes missing from their computer inventory.
Thanks for the advice! I called back and got a copy delivered.
Is there a way to get this in Australia, please? I tried putting the part number in the Apple store and it wasn't found.
I already own Snow Leopard server on a Mac Mini but want to put it on a VMWare so that I can upgrade the Mac Mini and continue to use old programs on the VMware. However you can't instal a customised install disk on another computer.
I already have the serial number, I just need a download of the retail version installer.
Try calling Apple in Austrailia and asking for part number MC588Z/A: Apple Sales Support on 133 MAC (622)
Consider partitioning your Mac Mini's internal hard drive or add an external drive and install Mavericks there. Then you can continue to run SL natively using "dual-booting" (System Preferences: Startup Disk)
DO NOT install Mavericks over Snow Leopard as that will destroy your SL environment.
What does this statement mean?
"However you can't instal a customised install disk on another computer."
Thanks Michael. Done. $24.99 posted in Australia.
Thanks for the tip on the Mac Mini. I will install Mavericks on the second drive or partition as suggested.
If you try to install the system disk that comes with the Mac Mini on the VM Ware virtual instance the installer stops and tells you that the target system is not the correct hardware. Apparently there is a way to fix that by going into the terminal and adding the hardware to the list, but it sounded a bit risky. The retail disk which should run on any machine sounds a lot safer. Thanks again.
While I do offer detailed instructions on how to install Snow Leopard client into Parallels, the preferred method for both installation and maintenance is to install Snow Leopard Server, as described in step by step detail here:

You usually post about installing Snow Leopard Server in Parallels. In this post you also mention VMWare Fusion.
What about Virtual Box? Do you recommend one as being better/easier to work with or are they all about the same?
Thanks,
Eric
I have 99% experience personally with Parallels, as this was the virtualizating software I purchased after obtaining my first Intel Mac (after using VirtualPC for my Windows' needs on my old iMac G5 before it died!).
So I just continued to use Parallels as my virtualization software when I developed a method to install Snow Leopard client back in the days when Snow Leopard Server retailed for $499! So, finally, I just continued to use Parallels when Apple dropped the price of Snow Leopard Server by 95% to the same $20 as its client version.
I did obtain a trial version of VMWare Fusion 4 for the purpose of attempting to run Tiger (Intel) in it pursuant to instructions by a German blogpost. However I was never able to get it to work successfully. I contacted the blogger and he told me it would work in Fusion 2 and he thought he was then able to upgrade it to version 4.
I purchased a copy of VMWare Fusion 2 off of eBay and was suggessful at that level, but never in getting it to work in Fusion 4. Then my needs to run Tiger for that project disappeared, so I dropped that project:

In theory, Snow Leopard Server should easily install into both VMWare Fusion 4 and VirtualBox.
On an interesting sidenote, I was able to "extract" the licensed copy of Windows XP from VirtualPC and it is that copy that I used first in Bootcamp in Leopard and Snow Leopard and now in Parallels on my Lion Mac Mini!
