[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1796385, member: 396914"] Welcome to the forum. Your question raises some issues the administrators here may ask about. The applications you listed (Photoshop, Illustrator, Aftereffects, etc) all require registration. Does your wife actually have licenses for that software, or are the applications left over from the college? If they technically belong to the college, then the issue is that YOU and your wife don't have a license for them. On the other hand, if you do have a legitimate license for them, the answer is that the way to transfer those applications is to de-authorize them through Adobe and any other developer that may be in the "etc" part, then do the reset to factory, update the OS as you want and reinstall, re-authorize them through Adobe, etc., on the new installation. Those Adobe products, etc, don't transfer well because of the security features and need re-registration. Adobe will have her registration of the products on file and should allow the reinstallation if they are properly de-registered first. [/QUOTE]
