Happily IOOI SqAR has a nice and very helpful step-by-step guide on how to installing Yosemite in VirtualBox. Not only the license terms but also the approach to install VirtualBox is slightly complicated.
The software license agreement states it like this: “ you are granted a limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive license (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, for purposes of: (a) software development (b) testing during software development (c) using OS X Server or (d) personal, non-commercial use.”Īs it only allows owners of Macintoshs to install Mac OS X as guest operating system, the VirtualBox end user forum even restricts their discussions to topics that will not violate Apple’s SLA. Also with Yosemite this appears to be (still) allowed. VirtualBox is great because it is probably the only free and open source software based virtualization environment that supports most common platforms (like GNU/Linux, Windows, and Macintosh) and where the virtual machines are portable in case you want to switch the host’s operating system.Īpple gratefully allows users to install their operating system in a virtualization environment since Mac OS X 10.07 Lion. This post should give a quick overview and some background on how to install Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite in VirtualBox version 4.3.22.
