Morph OS license questions
« on: February 02, 2011, 09:28:05 PM »
Hopefully one of the people involved frequents here, as I aren't keen on signing up for another forum just yet.
 
1: I've seen mentioned that if the machine croaks, the license can be transferred. What exactly is involved in this process?
 
2: Any provisions for transferring a license to a newer machine?
F.x. I buy a G4 powermac, and later get a mac mini
 
3: Any other benefits of registering other than losing the 30 minute slow down limit?
 
4: How sensitive is the license to swapping equipment? F.X. RAM or video cards
 
 
Thanks in advance!

Franko > You can use it for free, but my understanding is it slows down after a 30 minute period, requiring a reboot.
 
Piru > Are there any central update option, ala synaptic, or are updates and patches installed by hand ?

We'll see what I end up with, after trying it out, provided this mac mini deal goes through.
 
Thank you for all the information !

Cost doesn't worry me too much. Limitations on the end user do.
 
But in the end, we'll see once I have a chance to test it, and how much I end up wanting to use it after messing around with the trial :)
 
 
I would /like/ this to become my day to day system.

Another question:
Is VAT charged for US customers or is it discounted?

Its weekend so probably slow, but just a heads up, that I am still wondering about whether VAT is charged to US customers.
 
Alternatively, anyone in the US who can confirm or deny ?

Nyeh.
 
I've dealth with very niche companies in the UK (tabletop wargaming stuff) that don't charge it to US customers.
 
 
In the end, I think I'll pass, but I appreciate the information that has been given.

About the tax .. what's that 20 euro ? Stay away from the booze for a weekend or quit smoking... or maybe they can work with a reseller for licences in the USA, Australia, ...

yeah, most people are fine with arbitrarily paying more money, based on where they live.
 
As far as the licensing, either you care about user freedoms or you don't. Given that Microsoft and Apple are the business models being emulated here, I am guessing they don't.
