OSX Server downgraded licenses?

by Ashley Aitken :: Rate this Message:

Will a license for Mac OS X Server 10.6 (Snow Leopard) work on Mac OS  
X Server 10.5 (Leopard)?

I would like to buy a server license later this year for a PPC machine  
that will be upgraded to Intel sometime next year and would prefer not  
to have to buy two licenses.

Of course, I am not asking whether the Intel-only Snow Leopard Server  
will run on a PPC machine, obviously it won't but whether the license  
will work on the PPC version or not.

I guess the question can be asked more generally for any version of  
Mac OS X Server, i.e. will a license work with a previous version of  
the server software, but perhaps this architecture transition is a  
special case.

Thanks,
Ashley.

Why not buy a ADC Select membership?

timezone stuck on GMT

after a new battery caused a system crash (after resetting pmu/pram/nvram to
calibrate the battery) all gui apps show GMT (menubar clock, finder file dates)
even though the cli is using the correct tz.

i've trashed all recommended plists, rebooted numerous times, but no luck (all
users similarly affected)

any suggestions?

i've trashed all recommended plists, rebooted numerous times, but no luck (all
users similarly affected)-: sys.prefs/date&time/timezone always opens in gmt, tz
changes are reflected in the d&t panel clock but not in the menubar clock.

seems like a classic permissions problem, but i've done the disk util
reset...any suggestions? 10.4.11, clamshell g3 (my traveling machine: gotta luv
that handle;-)

unfortunately, /etc/localtime is ok, as are the /usr/...timezone files.

> sudo ls -l /private/etc/localtime
lrwxr-x---   1 root  wheel  30 Sep 21 06:40 /private/etc/localtime ->
/usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Eastern
> date
Mon Sep 21 06:43:01 EDT 2009

switching to central time in sys.prefs>date&time>tz switches /etc/localtime:

> sudo ls -l /private/etc/localtime
lrwxr-x---   1 root  wheel  30 Sep 21 05:43 /private/etc/localtime ->
/usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Central

but the menubar clock stays on gmt; however, if i change the hour, the mb.clock
does change as expected. the finder also reports timestamps in gmt, so this is a
finder-level problem, not a bsd-level problem...

i mentioned that the problem started when my new battery crashed (by which i
mean the system crashed as if the battery had been pulled)-: with 20% charge
showing...and every time i restart, my clock is set to the unix
epoch...obviously i have a defective battery:-( but that shouldn't bollix the
timezone when i'm plugged in...
