That "Yes" needs to be qualified...

Since DW 4 was released, changes in the OS X boot procedure have left *all* v4 *discs* unable to boot Macs introduced subsequent to their introduction, the reason being that Apple does not allow even the truncated version of OS X used to boot DW to be d/l'ed, so Alsoft may not offer updates to existing owners.

Owners of such DW discs must either have a separate volume from which to boot or purchase new discs. (I am not aware of any program that enables them to get new discs at a discounted price.)
