CSMatt Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Just how do I obtain the Apple Developer DVD that will install OSx86 on my PC? I don't want to pirate it, and I'm pretty sure that Apple has stopped distributing the version that installs on an ordinary PC.

wayneoats Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 If you are a registered Developer with apple you should not be asking because you should already know, but in others words dont ask stuff like that on the site.

CSMatt Posted March 14, 2006 Author Share Posted March 14, 2006 So that means it's pirated then. Are there any rules in the ADC TOS that say that you actually have to develop something to become a member?

Metrogirl Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 To become an Apple developer doesn't require you to actually develop something but it's assumed you are working in a development environment. As far as I know no-one will contact you and ask what you've developed and when it's going to be ready. If you want to have the benefit of software and hardware programs, like the one which resulted in the x86 development kit being shipped out, you have to pay quite a lot of money to join a premium developer scheme. That is expensive enough to keep the average Joe out of the game. You also get bound by a lot of legal requirements like not breaking Apple's licence and installing the stuff on other machines, or they'll drop a ton of lawyers on you. The original x86 developer machine program is now closed, and I don't think they are shipping new installation disks to people who are not premium developers. But even if you did join and receive some software you'd be bound by the same legal constraints which would prevent you from legally installing on vanilla hardware. Yes, the versions floating around the internet are all pirate versions. If you obtain and install one of those, you need to be aware you are breaking Apple's EULA at the very least and probably a whole host of laws in your own country. Finally, people on this forum are specifically barred from giving you precise details of where you can get pirate software of any sort. We are not keen to have Apple lawyers chasing us, and we don't condone piracy. Nevertheless this is a great place to discuss all aspects of OSX, regardless of hardware, and you can get plenty of hints and tips about experimenting with OSx86 on whatever system you have. Pushing the boundaries is fair game. And remember that Google is your friend. -s- Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/12035-how-do-i-obtain-the-dvd/#findComment-75648 Share on other sites More sharing options...
