[MacTUG] Lion as a download only distrobution...

[Steve Hellyer]

Hi Don,

Great question. Not sure yet what the plan is yet for Education or Enterprise distribution at this point.  Don't think it will be going online with you credit card and buy one for each lab machine.  Besides it doesn't even work that way for consumers as it's buy one put it on all you personal machines as it's tied to your StoreID. :-)

As soon as I hear something on what the method will be will send a note to list.

Cheers,
Steve

I am not looking here for a price break-- sure I will take one, grin, but I am not really prepared to go online with my credit card on each lab machine. Some profs will grouse if they have to kick in $30 of their own hard earned money ($100,000 only goes so far these days, haha) to upgrade their machines.
