Macintosh: Upgrade to Lion from Leopard
Hi,
1) I have a MacMini
- The Operating system is Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
2) I want to upgrade to Lion (Mac OS X 10.7)
3) And I just want to buy One license
- I will buy the license to upgrade to Lion only ($ 29)
- Then, I will do the "clean install" at the above machine
4) My question: Is the above approach technically and legally OK?
thanks,
tjie

Hi aarontomosky,
1) Per your above approaches ....
- I have to upgrade from Leopard to snow Leopard firstly (buy License #1)
- Then from Snow leopard i will update to Lion (buy the license # 2 --> $ 29)
2) So I can not just buy One license (to upgrade to Lion) and do the Clean install, right?
3) Clarify your understanding please
thanks,

Hi All,
1) It seems that strung is correct that I can not "bypass" from Leopard to Lion and pay only for one license (I have to pay 2 licenses from Leopard to snow leopard and from snow leopard to lion --> total: $ 58)
2) If other experts have different opinion related to #1, please post it back

Hi all:
1) This is the summary (of this discussion):
2) I have to buy 2 licenses:
* First: To upgrade from Leopard to snow leopard --> $ 29
* Second: To upgrade from snow leopard to Lion --> $ 29
* Total cost is $ 58
* This is no other Option; This is the only Path that I should take!
3) However, I am still be able to do the Clean Install (for the Lion)
* First : To upgrade from Leopard to snow leopard (I will buy the License and get the installation file for it)
* After the MacMini is at the Snow leopard; I will download or buy the Lincense #2 (To upgrade it to Lion); this installation file will be in the Application folder; I will BE ABLE to do the CLEAN Install following this link (suggested by aarontomosky) ---> http://lifehacker.com/5823096/how-to-burn-your-own-lion-install-dvd-or-flash-drive
