Note that apparently Apple doesn't take this too seriously, as the official Lion licenses as posted at still require you to be running "Snow Leopard".

(iii) to install, use and run up to two (2) additional copies or instances of the Apple Software within virtual operating system environments on each Mac Computer you own or control that is already running the Apple Software. Specifically, section 2B(iii) grants a license: The Lion retail license includes permission to create 2 VMs in addition to the one real machine so long as you run them on Apple hardware. This would then put the PC Server on the Mac with VMware Fusion, and the 3 x PC Clients on.

Install VMware Player on the other 3 Macs and move the PC client installations to them. Create the PC client installations on the VMware Fusion. I have not heard great tales of success or failure running the non-server VMs under Fusion 4.1, but you can give it a try.Īll versions of Lion (10.7) support virtualization. The plan was: Install VMware Fusion on one Mac and then install the PC server version of the software on this. VMware Fusion 4.1 accidentally left out the code that prevents you from creating and running non-server Leopard and Snow Leopard VMs version 4.1.1 was quickly released to restore the prevention code. Leopard and Snow Leopard standard versions ("Client" version) do not support being virtualized.
Leopard (10.5) and Snow Leopard (10.6) server are virtualizable and are fully supported by VMware Fusion. I have a G5 still kicking around for just that purpose.
You're probably better off either dual-booting your MBP or finding an old used computer to dedicate to Tiger apps. To get it to run you have to hack around the incompatibilities, which has been attempted with varying levels of (claim to) success, but it seems pretty sketchy.
Basically, for my Sandy Bridge laptop, VMware Player v3.1.4 (build-385536) + the new unlocker tool + the CPUID mask is the right combination to boot Mac OS X Server 10.6.3. The official Tiger (10.4) OS simply does not run in a virtualized environment. I am able to boot into the installation screen and start to install the Mac OS X.
