domidom Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Hello, I wonder if anybody could help with this. I have recently purchased a new iMac with leopard installed and have the Installation DVD's that came with it. I also have a Core Duo mac mini with Tiger 10.4.11 installed on it, my query is, is it possible to upgrade from Tiger to Leopard using the leopard install disks i have. I tried using the leopard install disk in the mac mini, but got the error 'This software cannot be installed on this system'. Am i missing something out, or do i need a special patch? Thanks, Dom Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/78299-10411-to-105-upgrade/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suhail Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I think the installation DVD's that come with Apple Products are locked down to the Hardware they come in, So iMac DVD's only work on iMac etc. That is what I heard.

Apple installation DVD shipped with a machine is tied to the hardware they come in.Hello, I wonder if anybody could help with this.I have recently purchased a new iMac with leopard installed and have the Installation DVD's that came with it.
