Numberzz Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 While this story is a bit old, some of you probably still don't know. Apple has changed the end user agreement in the server version of Leopard to state that it can now be run in a Virtual Machine. Being able to run multiple servers on one Xserve may also lead to companies choosing a real server machine over a Mac Pro with OS X Server installed. This also means that there could be a Xserve update soon. It takes a lot of horsepower to run multiple servers on one Xserve.

Ayanami Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 As a virtual machine in VMWare or Parallels? And if so, can we run it from Tiger? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/69518-server-virtualization/#findComment-493693 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bofors Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Apple has changed the end user agreement in the server version of Leopard to state that it can now be run in a Virtual Machine. This implies you can run Leopard Server unhacked on a generic PC. What exactly did they say?

Numberzz Posted November 4, 2007 Author Share Posted November 4, 2007 It says and I quote: "This License allows you to install and use one copy of the Mac OS X Server software (the "Mac OS X Server Software") on a single Apple-labeled computer. You may also install and use other copies of Mac OS X Server Software on the same Apple-labeled computer, provided that you acquire an individual and valid license from Apple for each of these other copies of Mac OS X Server Software."

Ayanami Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Well, when someone tells me how well it works through Windows, I'll try it. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/69518-server-virtualization/#findComment-494056 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numberzz Posted November 4, 2007 Author Share Posted November 4, 2007 You totally missed the point: "This License allows you to install and use one copy of the Mac OS X Server software (the "Mac OS X Server Software") on a single Apple-labeled computer. You may also install and use other copies of Mac OS X Server Software on the same Apple-labeled computer, provided that you acquire an individual and valid license from Apple for each of these other copies of Mac OS X Server Software."

FavleX Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Very good! Hackintosh+Leo Server(virtualized) means a lot of good services running on a cheap x86 machine (maybe a good sse2) on one of the less "cracked" platform around. Sftp,smtp,Ftp,DNS....mmmhh.Delicious!

Ok, so the license does not really tell us exactly what the mechanism of running multiple copies of OS X Server on a Mac is supposed to be. I wonder if they have built visualization into OS X Server itself, so like the first installation is like a master installation over which can run virtual OS X Server machines.
