I just had a question about the new MAC Leopard program. If I buy the family pack do all the computers have to be in the same home? Or can I split is with my friends who have computers in different locations? Just wondering and thanks.

From apple's website:

The Family Pack Software License Agreement allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple software on up to a maximum of five (5) Apple-labeled computers at a time as long as those computers are located in the same household and used by persons who occupy that household. By “household” we mean a person or persons who share the same housing unit such as a home, apartment, mobile home, or condominium, including student members who are primary residents of that household but reside at a separate on-campus location. This license does not extend to business or commercial users.

I'm not sure Apple would know if your friends do not live in your house. You're being much more honest than many by even buying multiple licenses!

Yes, they WILL know. They log your IP address as soon as you update the software for the first time. They will most likely to ignore a few different IP addresses unless the same serial number is used(or abused) too many times.

It's about not registering your software, which you don't have to do. If they track these things, or care about them, is questionable as far as I'm concerned. If they did then Apple's software would never be pirated. And we certainly know that's not true. (Final Cut Pro is one of the most pirated programs out there. At least in my circle of aquaintances.)
