[QUOTE="joema, post: 1685262, member: 312925"] Yes MA works great, esp between Macs. I just did that from my old iMac to new iMac. It is a big advantage over Windows which cannot really migrate apps (whether Windows to Windows or Windows to Mac) because of the registry. With OS X there is no registry so all your apps and files move over and work. Your old Mac will continue to work. The only exception to this is certain apps and plugins (depending on the licensing) may require re-authentication or re-entry of the product key on the new Mac. The app or plugin will prompt you for this. Typically you have that produce key in your email, so you just do a search and re-enter it as needed. Also be aware of any apps which require de-authorization before using on your new Mac. For example iTunes will only authorize up to five computers, so de-authorizing iTunes on your old computer might be wise. [/QUOTE]
