I believe you can use as many times as you want ,but only on that macbook

no, not with the disk that came with your macbook. Only on that machine, But if you have the Leopard upgrade disk, then skies the limit

very true, i used a leopard upgrade disc to update an old mac i had, i asked apple if i could use the disc to do it (silly old me) they said no, but i gave it a shot and it worked fine. They don't need serials simply because you have to buy the mac to install it !!

yeah, I bought the family version of leopard.... installed it on about 9 or 10 different macs now
