I downloaded and then copied the Installer Mountain Lion ESD onto a USB drive an a couple of places on two HDs.
But if the Installer has to contact the mothership for activation, this may not make any difference.
Donationware that will strip the Installer.dmg from the 10.8 download.
If it's done the same as Lion, you can Right-Click/Control-Click, open the package contents, and copy the ESD. No 'ware needed, and a borderline scam, unless it also helps one burn to disk. And still...
Maybe after I click Buy It, it will give me another option????
Yes, if you haven't entered your password in the last 15min, it will require it. You would have see the Buy It change to Install, by then.
