I am worried deleting the application by moving it to trash will not delete everything the application installed in the hard disk. MS Office has a maximum install limit but there is no way to de-authorise an existing installation yourself, if you reach the installation limit, your only way out is a call to a MS support hotline for them to reset that limit.įor user data, is transferring with Migration assistant the fastest and easiest way?Ībsolutely, in particular all the user data in your user library folder are really a lot of work to transfer manually.

I think PS Elements might have the same authorisation procedure as PS itself (ie, you might need to de-authorise it first). Transfer the license and then upgrade to LR4. I would like a clean install rather than using migration assistant to transfer software as I don't need all old software in the old MacBook.Īre you sure that installing the applications that you need takes less time than deleting the ones you don't want? If you use MA, a lot of applications do not even need that step. The only applications where this applies that I know of for sure are the Adobe CS suite (but not Lightroom) and the AppleID within iTunes.įor all other applications you just install them (or let MA assistant transfer them) and then enter the license credentials in exactly the same way as you did when you first installed them. If there is a menu called "De-authorize computer/installation" or something similar, than you should do that, otherwise you don't have to do that. What is the best way to transfer the following licenses?

Just bought a new MacBook pro and would like the expert's suggestion on transferring data and software licenses.
