How to install in OS 10.2

My Love has a classic iMac running OS 10.2.8. Her version of AW 6.2 stopped working. I do not see any folder on her Mac for AW, so I don't think I could copy the folder. I do have a brand new copy of AW 6.0, yes it does always want to install into OS 9. What's good work around?
Her's is oldest, than her MacBook, running OS 10.4, and it has AW on it, then my Air running 10.8, then my iMac running 10.6. Any ideas? Or, since I'm new here, and other posts the would address m concern, I want to reinstall AW 6 on an iMac Classic running OS 10.2.

Many possibilities.
The simplest is probably to startup her MacBook, then burn a copy of the AppleWorks 6 folder (found in her Applications folder) onto a CD. Put the CD into the iMac and copy the folder and contents to the Applications folder there. Done.

Another is to install from the AW 6.0 installation disk, then apply the 6.2.9 updater, available on the Apple site here:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/ ... ormac.html
The installed folder (and application package) can stay in the Applications(Mac OS 9) folder or be moved to the Applications folder. 6.0 was an OS 9 only version, but the updated package will contain both AW 6.2.8 (OS 9) and 6.2.9 (OS X), and will launch whichever version is correct for the OS version you are running at the time of launch.

Note that all bundled and retail copies of AppleWorks were distributed under a single user-single computer licence. To stay within terms of the licence, you should have no more installed copies of AW than you have installation disks. Her iMac(G3?) is the only one of the four mentioned that would have had AppleWorks as part of the bundled software package.

Barry,

Thank you. Yes, we're good for licensing rules. And now she can have Appleworks back on her Classic.
