Enable AirDrop on older Macs:
This setting lets you use AirDrop with older Macs that don't officially support it. Note that this setting causes AirDrop to fall back on an alternative method for communicating with other Macs so you must enable this setting on all your computers, even if they normally support AirDrop.

For consistency among my applications (as well as for economy), I have standardized the use of Leopard across my 3 desktop PowerPC Macs and my 1 Intel portable Mac. So, I can now run Cocktail for free.
But I so much like the developer's policy of releasing former versions as freeware than I bought a Family Pack license today as a token of support.
Someday in the future, when I get around to creating Snow Leopard and Lion partitions on my Intel Mac, I know that Cocktail will be there, ready to serve those partitions, as well as all future Mac OS versions, since the Maintain website says that:
"As of 15 August 2011 you will automatically receive a lifetime license when you purchase Cocktail. This means that when you buy the application you will also receive all future editions of Cocktail, for free!"
Cool! Now I'm covered all the way from Panther, Tiger, Leopard, (all freeware) through Snow Leopard, Lion, and any other big cats that come along in the future. What's not to like?

Also, it should be noted that if you purchase Cocktail, you will probably purchase it from "Kagi," the outfit Maintain uses to manage its purchases.
Kagi has a D+ rating from the BBB and serious fraud allegations against them.
The product may be good, but beware the hassles involved with maintenance and purchase issues.

Maintain have both great products and support for years !

with 4 complaints in three years, what serious allegations you might be referring to.
Kagi does offer Paypal as an payment method which should add some confidence when using the service. A number of great software developers with high quality reviews here at Macupdate use Kagi service.

When manually launched, it begins and runs for about a half second and then it abruptly quits.
I can but hope others are enjoying more success.

I have written to the developer and expect a reply in a day or so.
I am a long-time Cocktail user and have loved having it; always giving it 5 stars. But this version, alas, warrants no stars.

Cocktail opens up without any window and without saying what it's doing, but scanning my OSX.5.8 hard drives for endless 60 seconds, then opening an application list showing all my apps and asking: "Where is Cocktail?" Evil! Bad joke for 15$. Only good for trashing it instantly.

I started up from 10.6 and when I tried to launch Cocktail 4.5 I was given an error saying "Cocktail cannot be launched from this Mac because it's not compatible" or something alone those lines.
This would be a shame if the developer is doing this intentionally.

some time ago is not accepted for this latest version.
Must owners of previous versions repurchase Cocktail to use the latest edition?

Handily, apple/support/discussions had this nifty thread that explained how to fix it.
Delete the folder /Library/StartupItems/Cocktail.
The helpful discussion in discussion:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5865520�
I suggest the programmer either fix or idiot proof this setting area, and anyone who doesn't know precisely what they are doing leave it alone.
