MorphOS is out for MacMini G4! No cheaper Amiga available today!

No the key works only on teh maschine you reg'ed it to (MAC). But as long as the team is there and you can provide evidence that your maschine is broken, you'll get a new key. If the leam leaves and doesn't provide a general key then, you're indeed in the Kruse situation. But I doubt the team will give up within the next 24 months - and after 24 month I think the cost is written off anyway.

PS: I understood reinstall as a new installation on a new hardware. And for that situation post #11 is true.

Has the question been asked as to the possibility of upgrading say an Efika MorphOS license to a MacMini License?  I have an Efika, but would love to have my MacMini 1.5 running without the registration reminder:).  I have a MacMini 1.5 running dual boot Mac OS X and MorphOS 2.4, but I have not been able to get around the fact that I own a license on MorphOS on an inferior hardware setup.  If I could pay a "small" upgrade price to move it from my Efika to my MacMini would be appreciated immensely.

The MorphOS license scheme is the main reason I dumped MorphOS after 6 years, allthough I still find it the best of the three Amiga OS clones and the only one I'm interested in. I want to be free to use a registered MorphOS copy on another computer if I decide to upgrade to a better one. As long as this restriction remains in the license scheme I won't buy another MorphOS capable computer again. I won't buy any OS with such a license scheme.

Thanks zylesea for the update and suggestions.  I agree with you Tempest as to the unfairness of the license scheme used for MorphOS.  I have been watching my $$ very close and I cannot justify at this time on another license to expand my appreciation of the MorphOS.  I must use Windows as its my main work OS, but I do so grudgingly for their contempt on us licensees.  At least with Windows I can reinstall the licensed OS if I upgrade my computer system, which does not say much for MorphOS.

We use a software package at work, and if we want to transfer it to a new computer, we have to "decommision" it, and it gives us a code. We then use that code to install the software on the new computer.

I would feel better about it if MorphOS used a scheme like that.

I can live with that arrangement concerning my license with MorphOS.  But, I do understand that their time an efforts making MorphOS available on the MacMini has to be compensated, so a small upgrade cost is in order.  This would be a kind gesture to all the loyal customer's who have supported the hard work over the years.
