Leopard is almost here, and we are getting ready for it. Here is what you need to know about Undercover on Leopard:
- The current version of Undercover (version 1.5), is not compatible with Leopard.
- For the past few months, we have been working on Undercover 2.0, which will run fine on both Tiger and Leopard and which will sport some new features too.
- We will release Undercover 2 as soon as we possibly can. However we can't ship it before we can test Undercover on the final Leopard build. As I'm writing this, Apple has not released it to developers yet.
- If you want to install Leopard before Undercover 2 ships, there is no need to uninstall Undercover in advance. Note that your Mac won't be protected when booted in Leopard until we release Undercover 2.
- As soon as we ship Undercover 2, we will send out emails to all registered users explaining how to upgrade under different scenarios (upgrade, archive and install, clean install).
Just to make it clear for everyone: Undercover 2 will be totally free for all registered 1.x users! Talk about an incentive to upgrade...

Hi Peter,
Just to check. If I don't deinstall undercover will I get into trouble if I do an upgrade type of install of Leopard or will it simply not be copied along and therefore not function?
Cheers,
Alex
Will Undercover 2 cost more than 1.5?
Alex,
If you do an upgrade install of Leopard, Undercover will still be there, but it won't be functional. Therefore, it's better to remove it manually. Contact support@orbicule.com for instructions on how to remove Undercover.
If you do a clean install, or an archive and install of Leopard, there is no need to manually uninstall Undercover.
Undercover 2 will be a free upgrade, so there is no reason to hold out on your purchase.
We don't intend to change the pricing scheme when introducing version 2. However, we might adjust pricing down the road.
Looking forward to getting my macbook covered under 10.5... But i gotta tell ya.. I'm going to install 10.5 when it comes to me on the 26th.
I'll just tie a dog to the macbook to make sure nothing happens to it.
How long after the leopard release will version 2 be released? And when will its features be announced?
Thanks guys, can't wait for the new version! I feel naked without Undercover :)
Go go go =)
Hope all the testing goes well
Waiting for undercover goodness (maybe even new features....)
Thanks
Can't wait to upgrade. Just installes Leopard and rocks.
Can't wait to install Undercover.
Thanks
Please hurry!!
My new Leopard Macbook is unprotected!
Wow! Free upgrades is awesome customer service.
I'll keep recommending UnderCover to all fellow Mac users I meet.
Thanks.
Great service,
But we are used to that with Peter and his team!
I agree...every "What can I do to protect my investment" thread I come across I send them to your site. Hope the update comes soon
When I install Leopard ( waiting for some apps to be compatible, including Undercover ), I will do a fresh install. You stated there's no need to de-install Undercover in this case, how does this relate to machine keys? If I don't de-install, will the machine not be de-registered? My "family pack" of Undercover has 5 licenses, will I have only 4 left if I do not de-install? or will the machine re-make the same key under 10.5?
