Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Over One Year

Recommend Product: YES

There have been problems using iKey v2.3.4 when Snow Leopard is installed on top of a current Leopard (or on top of Tiger, which Apple do not support) boot system. There is a nice discussion of it over at the developer's forum for iKey.

The general solution is to have a backup of your previous system that you can easily access after the upgrade to Snow Leopard. Then remove/uninstall iKey. Then install Snow Leopard. After updating to the latest update for Snow Leopard and a final reboot, then do a clean reinstall of iKey. Before running it, move back all the files originally on your previous system. Don't for get the PLIST preference file! NOW run iKey and it should be fine.

Or, if you haven't installed iKey on the boot volume, after finishing your Snow Leopard updates, then install iKey.

There may be a simpler way to do this! But at the moment, this is what is known to work.

Reported To Work Fine On Snow Leopard - Drone142

At Script Software Software, Essential Utilities - iKey <http://scriptsoftware.com/ikey/>, it says iKey is compatible with 10.6, BUT both the links for the FAQ and for the Developer Forum are dead. If I already owned iKey, I might try what you are suggesting -- and it may well work -- but the fact that iKey seems to be in a state of neglect makes it hard to want to invest, not so much the money, but the time and energy required to implement something that may have no future. If it does have a future a few words on that from the developers would help, but I couldn't find any. Please point me in the right direction if I have this wrong as I would like to have something like this that worked.
