Apple has released a document outlining how corporate and education customers will be able to upgrade to Lion via the Mac App Store. It seems even to customers such as these, who will have to deploy the release on many machines, will still have to download the update via the Mac App Store. Lion isn?t shipping on any physical media. Period.
Businesses will be able to purchase Lion at the standard $29.99 per license, with a minimum purchase of 20 licenses. Much the same goes for education customers- the Apple Software Collection (OS X iLife and iWork) will be offered to them for $39 per license, with a minimum of a 25 license purchase.
Also of interest, is the whole ?server? situation. It turns out that customers who want Mac OS X Lion Server, will have to purchase an add-on package from the Mac App Store for $49.99. That?s on top of the $29.99 for Lion. A Standard Snow Leopard installation can be upgraded to Lion Server. A Snow Leopard Server installation can only be upgraded to Lion Server.
The document also outlines the installation process across many machines. With each multi-license contract, Apple will hand out a redemption code for the Mac App Store. Download once, and transfer the installer from one machine to another and install there. IT departments will also be able to use System Image Utility in OS X Lion to create a NetInstall or NetRestore images.
Download once, deploy everywhere.
