[QUOTE="Nethfel, post: 894214, member: 89124"] Hi all, I, like anyone else who recently switched to mac and have never been through a major upgrade, am thinking about the options I'll be given for my upgrade - ie: archive and install, erase and install, etc. From everything I've read, I'm planning on doing archive and install to have a clean system, but I'm unsure about one thing - my itunes library. All my software, I have keys for, backups for, etc., etc., etc. - and I have backups of my itunes as well, but what I don't know is - do I need to deauthorize my computer before I do the archive and install then re-authorize it, or when I archive and install, will it then restore everything back to the way it was? Thanks for what may seem like a silly question, but I'm just not sure what to do. [/QUOTE]
