I'm sure the problem is some retarded US export regulations of some sort. The tech industry is always fighting with US regulators over what they can and can't sell abroad. We've got a bunch of morons running the show in this country.

Started 4 months, 2 weeks ago by TechnoCrat
Was checking out the Apple pages and found that US can get a trial of OS X server but ONLY US.. Would love to run this on my current Mini just to check out the OS.. Hello Apple the world does not just revolve about the US of A... there are inquiring minds else where.

I put in my request to have it sent to Australia.
Surprisingly, I even got a thankyou note to say it will be shipped by FeDex.

Hey Aqua, any idea what happens once the evaluation expires on it? Would be fun to play around with, but I don't want to have to reinstall everything once the eval is over.
