Should be able to run an additional, older Mac operating system that can accommodate Office 2004? PowerPC was the type of CPUs used by Apple before switching to Intel. In OS X 10.5 and 10.6 (Leopard & Snow Leopard), Apple licensed and incorporated a PPC to Intel interpretor, which they called Rosetta. That made it possible to run PPC software on an Intel Mac, but is no longer part of OS X. Since Office 2004 is all PPC code, it, nor any other PPC software can run natively on any Mac with OS X 10.7 or 10.8 (Lion & Mountain Lion). Thank you Kurt, however, someone told me I could install Fusion and then reinstall an older operating system that would run Office 2004.
Is this possible? Yes, that is true. I didn't mention an alternative since we were discussing running PPC software directly in Mountain Lion. You can install Leopard Server or Snow Leopard Server in Fusion or Parallels, which will give you PPC support within the VM. Both are rather expensive.

No VM software will directly allow you to install a client version of Leopard or Snow Leopard. We still don't know why since the license for those versions of OS X do not forbid it. Apple does not, and will not support it, but instructions to possibly get a client version of SL running in a Parallels is.

For making documents (word and ppt) with inserted diagrams and pictures and wants to annotate them understands that the system requires usually several more steps and others changes are not duplicated, such as the continuum in adjusting the brightness and density of a picture. I'll bet there are people out there saying 1980's operating systems are better than current operating systems. Because there are a few who refuse to keep current does not mean that manufacturers should continue supporting outdated technology.

Using your reasoning I imagine there would still be a lot of leaded gas available for those who think leaded gas was better than unleaded gas. Apple Footer. This site contains user submitted content, comments and opinions and is for informational purposes only.

There is no way to determine which keys may have been used, but if the software is no longer installed that's a moot point. Office 2004 can be installed on any number of Macs any number of times using the same key.
The conflict only arises if more than one Mac using that key attempts to run the software on the same network at the same time. Poker calculator free for mac. It seems to me that the more pressing consideration is that Office 2004 cannot even be installed on OS X 10.7 (Lion) or later. Unless you intend to buy a 2nd hand Mac running an older version of OS X you won't be able to use Office 2004 in the first place, used Product Key or not.
