Expired OSX Server 10.5 - What now?
Hi!
I have a slight problem with continuity here.. I've got an old XServe G5 with OSX 10.5.8 Server installed, only with its serial number expired. I can't use any tools within the admin suite and it seems to be pretty bothersome any other way. Since the hardware is old PPC, I can't upgrade to 10.6. Which leaves me asking, where in the world do I get a new serial number for 10.5 (preferably one which would never ever again expire) - or am I forced to ditch the hardware and get Intel gear? Are there any other suggestions with using the old servers?
I've tried asking about this from local Apple stores but all the latte swinging hipster sales clerks do is tell me I'm stuck in the past and try sell all this new garbage to me.. so no help there from my Apple Sales Representative..
The serial number is registered to "Developer Seeding" in the "Apple Developer Connection" organization and I did find some threads that mentioned that ADC serials may expire.. but can the same serial be reused by somehow resetting it?
