I have had the laptop around 18 months and it is starting to run slower than I would like, so I am wanting to do a clean install of OS Lion. I have a 3tb hard drive that I have all my documents, movies, music,and pictures copied to. The only problem I am having is iWork. I purchased iWork in 2011 using a serial number. And now since Apple has got rid of the free trial versions that I used then typed in my serial number, I can't figure out a way to get iWork back yet. I haven't did a clean install yet, so it is all still on my computer. I know that I can Time Machine and create a backup, but what is the purpose of doing a clean install if I am just going to set my MB right back up that was it was before. Is there a way I can do a clean install and still be able to keep my iWork applications?</p></blockquote><p></p>
