Check that you have an Intel processor, and not a PowerPC (PPC) G3, G4, or G5 processor Apple Macintosh.  You can do that by selecting '''About This Mac''' from the Apple menu.  The window that appears must have "Intel" mentioned in the Processor section.  SoaS is only available for Mac with Intel processors.
