Yeah, you seem like a hackintosh kinda guy. You didn't answer the question. Does that free OS have to be tied to a serial number? Not that I am aware of. I've never had to type in a serial number when installing an Apple OS, and I've downloaded and installed the same downloaded OS on more than one computer. Further as I suggested the hackintosh community is running the latest OS on their non-Apple "mac" devices. I bet it senses the CPU ID when you connect and I am sure it looks when you install it. Even Windows XP and beyond does that. They used to match your PC profile to the database in Redmond and rejected activating the install if you had any significant hardware change. That seemed to go away on XP tho. You still get the nag screen but if you reenter the 25 digit code it takes it. If it did that it would not work on hackintoshes |
