[QUOTE="luxelliott, post: 1186984, member: 192515"] Greetings! I am about to embark on a similar situation as the OP. I came to this forum to ask for assistance and saw this post. I felt that my question was close enough that I did not want to create a new topic. If you feel I should once reading my question, I will. I am receiving a new Mac Pro tomorrow. I am currently using a Mac Pro and will be taking the harddrive out of this one and placing it in the new one. Since there is a fresh version of OS X on the new machine, I want to transfer all the apps etc. over to the new HD. 1. Will I have to register all the applications that required a serial number on the new machine assuming I transfer all the correct folders? 2. Reading that migration assistant might not do all of the work. Is there a resource that explains all of the folders required for a successful transfer? Many thanks and I am not attempting to hijack this post. It is so similar. Lux [/QUOTE]
