How do you migrate software from a dead PC to a new Mac

PC died. Bought iMac without DVD drive. How do I move Dreamweaver CS5.5 academic, Photoshop Elements, & Photoshop to the Mac? Will I ever be able to find the answer on this obfuscated company website? Unlikely.

I don't know of any companies that would offer a platform swap on a program 4 versions removed from current. Adobe used to do it for "current version" software until the Creative Cloud delivery method did away the necessity for it (you can have it installed on both without issue)
Since you are a previous owner of the Creative Suite, you do qualify for a decent discount on the first year's subscription: Creative Cloud pricing and membership plans | Adobe Creative Cloud
Or you could just load Windows on your Mac and install it from your existing disks. Windows runs exceptionally well on the new Intel Macs from what I hear.

If your "older" MBA has a Thunderbolt port then it isn't that old. See Target Disk Mode about how it's used. Note that without a monitor you won't be able to tell from the screen when it has fully started, and if it succeeded in starting in TDM. If it did, then the hard drive should appear on the Desktop of your new computer. You can then access it to transfer your files. You can even use Migration Assistant or any backup utility to transfer data. Just don't try to transfer system files.

Restoring the new iPod from the backup of your old iPod will result in the new iPod being the same as the old iPod except that you will have to reenter keychain items like passwords since keychain items are only restored to the same unless you use an encrypted backup.

If both computers are on the same network, you could just mount the Windows machine and drag and drop the songs from the PC to your Mac, and then add them to your Mac iTunes Library by importing.
That's the simplest way I know...

You need to transfer the music from your old computer to the new one. You can use Migration Assistant or just copy the files from one to another.
If they were purchased from the iTunes Store all you have to do is "authorize" the computer to play them. You can authorize up to five computers.
