I will be running Lion on an eSATA backup drive tonight or tomorrow and I'll let you know.

I used SuperDuper! to clone my hard drive to an eSATA back up drive, then authenticated DP 5.13 and 6.03 using the installer CDs. Only then did I install Lion onto that drive.

Except for the Miroslav libraries, everything else worked including my plugins. The only Garritan libraries I have are those with Finale 11 but they worked, too (as did Finale).

I am pretty certain that neither the installers nor disk authentication are supported in 10.7.
