| Installing iLife '08 on MacBook from iMac install discs So, I have a new iMac on the way and want to be running the same updated version of iPhoto on both the new iMac and my existing few-months-old MacBook. Can I easily install iLife '08 on my MacBook using the iMac's installation CDs? (Without having to re-install the system on my MacBook? I'm assuming that iLife gets installed as part of some install/restore option as opposed to have a iPhoto-only installer on the iMac's installation discs.)  |

| Illegal. Buy a license for iLife '08 for your MacBook. Should be obvious, really. Had to edit your post about that, SGilbert.

| I'm no lawyer, but assumed that he will "own" iLife '08 when he gets the iMac. The license SHOULD be for owned computers as opposed to just one computer. I accept the lashing with a wet noodle!

| Sorry, but no. iLife costs 79 USD per computer - unless it _comes_ with the computer. Didn't come with that MacBook, came with the iMac. I guess you could make a case - if we want to talk lawyering... - if you erase it completely from the iMac before you install it on the MacBook. But even then, I'm not sure the license would state so.

| Have a simular Question, bought a iMAC (with iLife 08) and and OS X server licence. After installing OS X server I lost iLife. Guess I still own the iLife licence and want to install it again (actually on the same machine as it was earlier). Is this legal? How is it done? Br. Are (Norway) |
