FROM THE IGLOO

Good news, everyone! Deep Freeze Mac v4.5 is now available and is compatible with Snow Leopard. Please make sure you uninstall Deep Freeze from Leopard (or Tiger or Panther) prior to upgrading to Snow Leopard. Once you have everything set up the way you like it, then you can install Deep Freeze Mac v4.5 and you’re all set. Let us know your experiences.

In addition to support for Snow Leopard, we have also introduced Licensing into this version. More details on why we did this can be found in the about our license keys post. If you’re a licensed customer, you will need to log in to Faronics Labs to get your License Key. You can copy it from there and paste it into Deep Freeze. Complete release notes are available from Faronics Labs as well or from this this direct link.

The other important thing to note is that we no longer support Mac OS X 10.3 Panther as of this release. Panther users can continue using v4.24. We didn’t specifically set out to eliminate Panther support, but with the changes that were required for Snow Leopard, we had little choice. Very few customers still use Panther anyway so I hope it’s not a big deal to anyone.
