Carbon Copy Cloner (or sim) copy Disk Authorisations?
Just about to put Leopard on my PPC G5 (yeah I know I'm a bit behind.... Been working on a long-term project and didn't want to upgrade in the middle.... And I can't go to Snow Leopard obviously....!)
I was intending to use CCC to copy my current drive to an external drive, then partition the internal drive and re-copy my Tiger-based system back to one partition, and stick Leopard and PT8.01 on the other partition... That way I can quickly switch back to Tiger and 7.4 if there are any incompatibilities with opening old sessions in the future... My question is this... If I copy my current system drive, then copy back to that same drive (albeit partitioned) will I have to re-authorise my plugins which have a disk based authorisation...? Thanks Jon |

Not in my experience, No. Disk authorizations remain after cloning.

Some do some dont. Stylus RMX for me never has to be reathorised but all the other Spectrasonics stuff does

For us, only SuperDuper worked properly (as far as authorizations are concerned)
check it out if you wish : http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDup...scription.html

Re: Carbon Copy Cloner (or sim) copy Disk Authorisations?
The solution I used was to load Leopard on to a new disc, then do fresh installs of everything. I kept my old Tiger drive as is and put it in an external firewire case, like you I wanted to reboot in Tiger should I have lost any plugins. Note, it has to be a firewire case, as you can't boot from a USB one.

Yeah.... I'm thinking that's not a bad solution too....
The plan behind putting the backups back onto one internal drive was for simplicity of switching.... Thanks for all the suggestions |

SuperDupper here.++
All NI kept their auths. Old funny App's like Recycle 2.01 need re-auth's even with an OS update. |
