Pat…yes you can AMP your OSX
server licenses…be ready for sticker shock as it will double the cost to add
the 3 year AMP, but then you are covered for ANY upgrade in that three year
period…then you just keep purchasing the AMP….
Not eligible for SnowLeopard
upgrade if you purchase OSX server now without the AMP …If you purchase Leopard
Server with the AMP, you will receive SnowLeopard when it ships as part of the
AMP agreement at no charge.

your creative _expression_. That's all. "

Subject: [Rockies-Edu] Updating OSX Server Now?
Many of our severs are on Leopard, but some are still on
Tiger. We would like to get all of our servers on the same version ASAP
while balancing the cost and taking into account that Now Leopard will soon be
released. I have several questions regarding OS X Server purchasing:
Is there a volume discount/multipack version of OSX server
(we are only talking ~ 5 servers)?
Is the Apple Maintenance Plan (AMP) available for servers?
Has the price of Leopard dropped now that Snow Leopard has
been announced?
If we purchased Leopard now would be eligible for discounted
copies of Snow Leopard when it is available?
In general, what would you recommend we do in our situation?
Thank you in advance
