Renaissance Education (now branded as YOOBEE) is pleased to announce the process for delivering the Apple OS X Lion Operating System to schools registered under the Ministry of Education’s Apple Maintenance Program (AMP) 2010-2012 Software Agreement.

Schools currently registered under the Ministry’s AMP Software Agreement will receive an email from us outlining the process to obtain OS X Lion. New schools may also register for the programme. Lion will be shipped on a single USB flash drive. The USB flash drive will cost $25 + GST, including postage and packing.

In preparation for your upgrade to Lion, we recommend that you firstly check to see if your hardware is compatible with the new operating system.

Our YOOBEE software development team has built a free micro app, which you can download and run on each Mac you plan to upgrade. It only takes a second, and checks to see if you have the minimum required hardware configuration to run Lion. Download the app below.
