		<title>TidBITS: Comments on Selling a Mac: What Version of Mac OS X Can You Include?</title>
		<link>http://tidbits.com/</link>
		<description>If you’ve wondered what the proper way is to go about selling a Mac whose version of Mac OS X has been upgraded past what came with it, here’s the official word from Apple. And if the recipient of the Mac needs 10.7 Lion, it turns out that there’s still a way to get it legally.</description>

			<description><![CDATA[Yes, precisely. If you have a newer Mac, you can get Lion onto a USB flash drive and install from there.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I read the part about fooling the system to allow you to skip Snow Leopard, but how do you download Lion if you don't have Snow Leopard as Leopard doesn't have the AP Store?  I have a newer McBook too.  Can I use the newer one already running Lion to download and copy to a jump drive to put it on the old MacBook?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Looks like I gave up too quickly!<br><br>This article describes how to show hidden purchases. I don't know if I hid it, or it hid automatically. But if the Lion update doesn't appear, this is how to restore it:<br><br><a href="http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US">http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US</a><br><br>This would be a good link to add to the article, in lieu of the Option-click idea that doesn't seem to do anything. :)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[It isn't on mine. Did you see this AFTER talking to Apple support? Maybe they unlocked it for you somehow.<br><br>(Then again, this could be something that varies depending on the country you're in. The store is complicated. Only Apple knows how this works, and your odds of finding the right person to ask are probably pretty low.)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Oops! I was misled by a paused download (and what I read elsewhere). What I'm seeing now that I look more closely is that OS X Lion just appears in my Purchased list, no need for the Option-click.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Although I did purchase it at the time, option-clicking on Purchases did not reveal Lion when running on Mountain Lion. Perhaps if I was running Snow Leopard this trick would work, but I was only checking out of curiosity. :)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I didn't ask the Apple guy about Lion Server, but I wouldn't be surprised if the same phone order approach applies. Give them a call and let us know!<br><br>That said, for much of what a "server" does these days, OS X Server isn't really necessary. Our internal server does file sharing and CrashPlan and is a destination for other backups.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Do you know if this works for Lion Server?  My Mac Pro is old (2006) but isn't dead and I ordered a new iMac to replace it.    However it has 2.5TB of storage in it and it'd make a good server.]]></description>
