You may be able to build enough of a chroot environment out ofĭarwinbuild for your application, which would get around these issues. You'd probably be better off with a stack of Mac Minis at that point. For your 8-environment configuration, this works out to theĬost of the base license ($499) plus $499 per chroot, totaling $4491. For Server, you'll need to have one license perĬhroot. Licenses will allow you to run multiple copies of the operating systemĪt the same time. Portion of the Apple Software, and not even buying additional Nothing permits you to have more than one copy at a time of any Is automatically terminated, and you must destroy your copies of the This condition of the license, your license to use that copy of OS X Is not allowed for non-server versions of OS X.
