  • Install OS X Lion Final Release Over Lion GM Guide

    July 21, 2011 // Gradly // Apple, blog, Download, How To, Tutorials Tags: Apple, blog, Guide, Hints, How To, Lion GM, OS X Lion, Tips, Tutorials 2 Responses

    If you are running the Mac OS X Lion GM build and you want to buy and install the Final release of Lion through the Mac App Store, you’ve noticed that you’ll get that’s already “installed” App Store. To work around you just need to hold Option and click on the Install button to be able to install the final release over GM. You can also do this through the “Purchases” tab in the Mac App Store, just hold down Option to enable the “Install” button.

    Note: if you’re a developer who is running the Lion GM build 11A511 there is technically no need to install the Lion Final, both builds are 11A511 and identical.

    This is also a way for those who inappropriately downloaded Lion GM to pay Apple for the final release. It’s only $29.99. Developers needn’t do this however thanks to The Loop for getting this tip.
