[QUOTE="downshift93, post: 1365711, member: 236918"] Hello all! So I just go a iMac G4 20-inch 1.25 GHz processor and 1 GIG of ram running 10.5.8. Its got Logic Pro and some other software that I would like to save before I do a complete system restore. There is a massive amount of junk on this thing and its running extremely extremely slow right now so I want to fix it by wiping it but I dont want to loose a few of these nice programs. I dont have the original CD for any of the software or the mac itself. If I just get an external hard drive and move the software over, then do the system restore will this save the software? I would assume that this wouldnt because I thought licensing was stored on the computer itself and if I wipe the licensing out then the software is useless without the original CD, is this correct? Is there any way that I can save this software? I really appreciate everyones help with this, thank you! [/QUOTE]
