On Leopard, it is incredibly useful in situations where one may wish to install software that claims to require an update that you don’t want to install. I’ll be demonstrating on Snow Leopard, but the procedure is the same on both. In my demonstration, I will be changing the version number from 10.6.2 to 10.7.0. This has no practical use, but will suffice for demonstration purposes.

I remember a folk "forcing install" PT 8.0 LE on Tiger (It were Leo only) in a ALU Powerbook with Pacifist https://www.charlessoft.com/ (https://www.charlessoft.com/) and that PT8 could edit and mix fine...

Some Leo apps based only on Tiger APIs should run with any of these methods.
