Afternoon everyone,
Can anyone clear up my uncertainty....I recently downloaded Mavericks via the App Store using my own own personal Apple ID. I'd like to create a Mavericks configuration and am uncertain whether or not my Apple ID will be permanently linked with Mavericks as it is with other apps. Will users be able to update to the next release of OS X without knowing the Apple ID and password that I used to download Mavericks originally?
Thanks,
Kevin
Hey Kevin...while Apple IDs are used to update apps normally, downloading/using/running an OS installer isn't tied to an Apple ID. A good test of this is to just put it on external and run it on another mac. You'll see that you are not prompted to enter any kind of credentials in form of an Apple ID to use it. Apple has told me that Apple IDs are not needed just for straight OSX updates from the App store, i.e.; (10.9.1 update, itunes, security updates, etc). Hope this helps.
Thanks very much @perrycj!
