[X4U] Multiple Lion installation question

[Christopher Collins]

My understanding from Apples comments has been that so long as each machine uses the same Apple/iTunes ID, it's legal to install Lion on them all.

I have 3 Macs here (iMac 27", MBP 17" & Mac Mini) and they all use the same Apple ID. 

Basically, the standard download is a Family Pack as Family Packs had similar rules.

Having downloaded it once using an Apple ID will allow you to download it again on a second computer that is using the same Apple ID for the App Store at no cost. Apple will allow you to install the Lion OS on to all of your personal computers that you own and control. Apple does not try to get additional purchases from the same person.
