License question - Moving to a new machine

I am buying a mac Pro, and I want to move Aperture from my MacBook Pro to it..
Does the license allow me to remove it from the MBP, and install on the MacPro? Or am I required to purchase a new license?

you can actually have it installed on both machines per the EULA ...
you cannot however run it simultaneously on both machines on the same network ...
no need to remove from one to install on the other ...

    Firefox doesn't have an "export" feature built into it for password data.
    Exactly what did you do to "export" your passwords?
    Did you use this extension?

    If so, see the screenshots on that page to see the Import function.
    If you copied the two files that are used for storing passwords from the old computer to back them up, just copy those 2 files into the Profile folder on the new computer to restore them.

  • New machine + transfer account

    Hello
    i just bought the new g5 tower, middle size one.
    i read apples info on transferring my account from my old machine to my new one, seems simple enough, but....
    a fellow subscriber said i should do the following before i migrate the account to the new machine from the old one.
    Make sure G4 has 10.4.3 on it and clone drive to the new PM G5 using Carbon Copy Cloner via Firewire Target Disk mode. The Migration Assistant may not copy all files -- like important invisible ones -- in some instances.
    I have other questions:
    my question is will this apple automated set of migration tasks also automatically deauthorize my purchased i-tunes account on old machine and reauthorize new machine?
    we have 2 external hard drives. ive read tons on people losing data or not being able to connect to their drives after migration or upgrade. Should I just unplug them during transfer from old machine or leave them plugged in? or does it not mtter?
    the old machine is a powermac g4 mdd.
    im scared.
    when i read the lower level (more in depth) details on migration it strated talking on a level that intimidated me. things like firmware & firewire upgrades, how do i know if im supposed to upgrade firmware or not and on which machine?
    basically, i am in an overall quandry. maybe i should stop worrying about all the in depth stuff and just do it and save myself anightmare.
    thanks

    Well, there is no evidence at all that there are specific installs. In fact, in conversations with many developers, they have told me there is no such thing. If there are problems from clones, then the original was bad. It is not about risk, at all. This forum is replete with problems from Tiger installs. Is that evidence that Tiger is bad? Of course not. I have done at least 100 clones for clients, in this fashion, and have not seen one instance of a bad insatll, or problems, from cloning. I do all the work, and I know how. It does not matter from which machine, to what machine the clone is going, either.
    Now, let's discuss licensing. because someone buys a new machine, and wants to clone his old Tiger to it, this is not a violation, at all. If both machines have Tiger (not the case here, of course). But, let me say this. It is getting downright obnoxious for people with no idea, nor any standing in the issue, to keep mentioning licensing. It is irrelevant to the question, in almost all instances, and makes the writer seem pretentious and a little sanctimonious.

  • Transferring boxed Windows 7 retail license from dead computer to new computer

    The old computer died so a new one was built.  I have the retail Windows 7 license from the dead hardware, will the license automatically transfer to the new machine if I install Win7 from that DVD and use that serial number?

    Yes, the only issue is activation. Depending on when it was last done, online activation may just sail through. If not, there should be no problem activating by phone. As long as it is really a retail version and being used on only one computer, you won't
    have any problem.

    Hi Dilip,
    After testing the issue in my environment, we can try to use the RS.exe utility to execute a Reporting Services RSS script that copies content items and settings from one SQL Server Reporting Services report server to another report server.
    To achieve this goal, please refer to the following steps:
    using the RS.exe utility Download the script file from the CodePlex site
    Reporting Services RS.exe script migrates content to a local folder, for example c:\rss\ssrs_migration.rss.
    Open a command prompt with administrative privileges.
    Navigate to the folder containing the ssrs_migration.rss file.
    Run the following command to migrate contents from the native mode Sourceserver to the native mode Targetserver:
    rs.exe -i ssrs_migration.rss -e Mgmt2010 -s
    http://SourceServer/ReportServer -u Domain\User -p password -v ts="http://TargetServer/reportserver" -v tu="Domain\Userser" -v tp="password"
    Besides, if the destination report server is SharePoint mode, we can also try to use Reporting Services Migration Tool to achieve your requirement. For more details, please see:

  • Move Acrobat license to new machine and upgrade at same time... not accepting old serial number

    I had Acrobat 9 Pro on an old computer. I am moving to a new computer. I wanted to move my old license to the new computer and upgrade. The online sales guy told me I needed to deactivate and uninstall on the old computer (done), then download the upgrade and install it (done, using the serial number provided when I purchased the upgrade). Now, Acrobat XI says there is no old version on the machine (true... I was told I didn't need to install it) and it asked for a serial number. I entered the serial number off of the box that Acrobat 9 Pro came in and the program tells me it is not a valid serial number. What should I do???

    Hi Acemoore,
    There are no issues with serial numbers. Please login to Adobe.com and check the serial numbers you are entering are correct.

  • Moving adobe 9 standard from 1 machine to another. How can I find the activation code on the old machine to activate on new machine

    moving adobe 9 standard from 1 machine to another. How can I find the activation code on the old machine to activate on new machine?

    You didn't really clarify much, just repeated the same question. First of all, Adobe is a company with many products.
    Are you talking about Adobe Acrobat? If so you need to deactivate it on the old machine and then use enter the serial-number (as described) when installing it on the new machine. It will then activate itself automatically over the internet. Just keep in mind that Acrobat 9 is not compatible with Windows 8 and to make it compatible with Windows 7 you have to update it to at least version 9.2 after the installation.

  • I  bought a new laptop (Dell ProBook; Windows 7.1) after a catastrophic crash of my old one. I installed my licensed copy of Photoshop CS3 on my new machine, and find that my activation key will not work.  Is this remediable, or am I simply stuck buying a

    As indicated in the header question, I've been unable to get PS CS3 to run (other than in "trial period" mode) on my new laptop. I purchased CS3 a few years ago and had it up and running on my former (now deceased) machine; I still had the activation key. I installed the program on my new machine (running Windows 7.1), seemingly uneventfully. But when I now enter the activation key, I get an error message informing me that the number is not valid.
    Does the activation key become invalid after a certain time period, or is there something I can fix? I'm interested in upgrading, but would like to have the familiar version available until I get around to doing so (just retired; lots of time-consuming changes afoot).

  • Moving my photos and PSE catalog to a new machine... and upgrading

    H
    I am seeking advice on the best way to do the following: 
    - move my photos from my current laptop to a new laptop
    - recreate my current PSE catalog on the new machine
    - do both of the above while also upgrading to PSE 11 on the new machine.
    The last time I did this sort of action -- moved my photos to a new machine -- it was sheer bedlum.  Hoping to avoid the pain this time.  
    Do I first need to move my photos to the new laptop -- recreating the exact smae file structure that I have today -- amd them export and import the PSE catalog? I want to repeserve the album structure and tagging that I have created.....    
    Any help/pointers appreciated. 

    The recommended way to move to another computer with a new OS or PSE version is to use the built-in backup and restore function in PSE.
    - Start with a clean catalog : reconnect missing files, repair, optimize. That's good practice even if it is not strictly necessary.
    - Do a full backup on an external media (external USB drives are safe and affordable). If you have several catalogs, do as many backups. Warning ! each separate backup must be in its own separate folder.
    - Now, you have installed your PSE version (possibly a newer version) on the new computer, you can do a restore from each catalog backup. That will restore the catalog and the picture files ; if you have checked the option to keep the folder tree structure, it will be kept.
    The smart thing about this process is that not only everything is restored, but if you have upgraded to a newer PSE version, the catalog will be automatically converted to the newer version ; furthermore, you have a backup!

    http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/common-catalog-issues-upgrade-elements.html
    Edit:
    This shows why a backup from the organizer is often a better solution than external backup solutions. Suppose your old computer crashes, you can restore to a new computer and newer PSE version easily. It's also a good way to update a secondary computer (a laptop for instance) to the same 'sync'  than the master computer.

  • Moving boot camp to new machine with Parallels 10 or WinClone?

    i seem to have a ton of document here but have not been able to figure a way out of my dilemma.
    i have a 2006 mac pro that had two boot camp installs with one of windows 7 and one of XP. each of these are still intact on my hard drives in this computer. however, i can not see this computer on my display as there appears to be some issue with the converter that i am using for my cinema display mini display port (to get it to DVI display port on the 2006) so i cannot really DO anything with these installations other than see them when i put the disk in my new 2012.
    Parallels 10 appears to have a new "boot camp" mode and i am trying to figure out if there is a way to get the boot camp installs into my 2012 as "virtual boot camp" installations. i just put one of the 2006 disks into the 2012 machine and tried this and Parallels seems to have accepted this but i am not sure if i somehow need to leave the physical boot camp install in this bay 4 or if i can just pull the disk and now i have a "virtual boot camp" install of windows 7.
    ALSO, i DO have WinClone backups of both of these boot camp installations on the new machine but i believe i am supposed to run CHKDSK and Sysprep on the actual boot camp installs before trying to migrate them over to the new machine and since i cannot see anything in the old machine i can't try this. actually, i did try it back when i could see the 2006 but there was some error with the Sysprep and the thread proposing solutions was like 26 pages long.
    anyway, anyone done this and have any suggestions?
    THANKS

    A. when you say you can boot from corresponding installation media - you are talking about my Windows 7 and Windows XP install disks?
    When you installed XP or W7, you would have used either an Install DVD or a USB, or both. This is what you would need. You can recreate the USB using Bootcamp Assistant, if necessary. The only caveat would be if you subsequently upgraded to later Service Packs, and the installer was built earlier than that.
    B. when you say "if your windows is already bootable" you are saying that i could put the disk in the new machine, set preferences to BOOT from the Boot Camp installation on the other disk and run the Safe Mode on this boot camp install and then manually remove drivers? also presumably i can compare the 2006 machine to the 2012 machine and see which drivers i don't have to remove? also, i am guessing here that i can try either of these (boot from media or boot into safe mode in the boot camp) despite the fact that yosemite does not support XP boot camp?
    It is possible that Windows may not boot at all, due to hardware changes and driver differences. Safe Mode is a minimal driver load boot. It should be bootable. If you end with a completely un-bootable system after you move disks, then Windows Startup Repair may be necessary first. You may also need to run chkdsk. I would also recommend uninstalling any third-party NTFS software. Once Windows is fully installed, there is no interaction with Yosemite, and a minimal interaction with firmware and Apple Bootmanager which recognizes a NTFS system.
    C. can you help me with the terminology here? you ask if any of my "W7/WXP" disks have a version of OS X co-resident". at one point i had what i understood to be JUST an XP install on my 2006 machine on a hard drive which i still have. i don't know if this was installed "under" some OS but as far as i know i /just/ had a boot camp installation of XP on this disk. is this possible? if so, what do i call it? ALSO, i /now/ have basically two disks with one containing a PARTITION of Snow Leopord or Mountain Lion and a PARTITION of Windows XP Boot Camp. then the /second/ disk contains a CLONE of the OS X install and a PARTITION of Windows 7 Boot Camp. Do you know what i call these?! are either of them what you consider "co-resident"? i guess i don't exactly understand the types of boot camps i can have (ignoring virtual machines).
    If the disk was formatted as an MBR disk and was fully dedicated to Windows, it will not have OS X. In some cases, a single physical disk can be partitioned to host both OSes. If the OS X part was on a separate physical disk, this is what is usually is done on a MacPro with multiple disks.
    D. can i /PLEASE/ ask you to help me understand the types of virtual machines i can create on the 2012 with Parallels 10? right now i just hooked up a Windows 7 virtual machine from Parallels 7. so this is a "true virtual machine". but i can somehow also now create a "boot camp virtual machine" where i can EITHER boot into the boot camp or into the virtual machine? i mean, i guess what we are discussing is a way to CLEAN the Windows 7 BOOT CAMP INSTALLATION on my 2006 by putting the hard drive into the 2012 and to then - well i guess i then create a WinClone of the Boot Camp install and i run the WinClone MIGRATION procedure to get this boot camp on the 2012? /then/ i run parallels and hook up this Boot Camp install in the new machine?
    Usually, BC installations can be imported as virtual machines. You can also install a VM using a virtual disk, which, to OS X, appears like a set of system files. You can as a test import the 2006 disk clone as a VM and test. The VM engines impose their own BIOS engine and can have  their own drivers in such a VM. For example, they will emulate SCSI to access the underlying virtual or physical disk. They may also provide their own file system drivers. For example, VMware Fusion can provide HGFS to share files between OS X and Windows. Your approach should work, but I have never tested Winclone with the VM layer in the middle. You should ask Wincloen support if they support VM as an in-between layer or not. I do not think so.
    E. can you remind me why i can't get a XP Boot Camp on the 2012 machine? was this due to the 2012 mac pro or was it yosemite or both i guess? i mean, for XP i am presumably going to run the TRANSFER procedure on the XP install /after/ putting the hard drive with XP boot camp from the 2006 into my 2012 and then i am going to run this VIRTUAL MACHINE FROM BOOT CAMP operation (link below)? if so, we are saying i can run this from the 2012 and then can i remove the XP Boot Camp drive from the 2012 and still have the virtual machine i guess? in this case i SHOULD ALSO run the XP through the procedure you explain? so in this case i will only have a virtualized XP Boot Camp install and with Windows 7 i will have both the BOOT CAMP install (which i presumably migrated to my OS X hard drive!) and i will be able to virtually boot to this boot camp install using Parallels 10?
    Apple deprecated XP support as they moved to BC version 5.x. A new XP installation is not possible, but an existing XP installation will continue to work across OS X version upgrades. This is a 'physical' machine from 2006 MP. Once you install BC drivers on the XP installation to work with 2012, you will need to reverse the migration procedure (uninstall drivers for 2012MP, install 2006 MP drivers). It is a very unusual direction to want to go back to 2006 MP, but it is still a method if the 2012 MP hardware failed, and you wanted to go back to a working 2006 MP. You should check if Parallels 10 supports XP.
    F. i guess if i want to make sure to retain a true boot camp install of the Windows XP install i have to repair the 2006 machine is that right?
    http://kb.parallels.com/en/113658
    Not necessarily. If you can migrate (simulating a SysPrep) to the 2012 MP machine, you do not need to resurrect the 2006 MP.

  • I bought a new MacBookPro moved everything from old MacBookPro, new machine runs 10.6.7 - but iPhoto won't 'upgrade' the library - just hangs up supposedly while writing new library. help. thanks.

    i bought a new MacBookPro moved everything from old MacBookPro, new machine runs 10.6.7 - but iPhoto won't 'upgrade' the library - just hangs up supposedly while writing new library. help. thanks.

    How did you "move everything" over?
    Migration assistance does not handle the iPhoto library well sometimes - the best way is to drag the bad iphoto library from the pictures folder on the new system to the desktop, connect the two systems together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old system to the pictures folder of the new system and launch iPhoto on the new system - it will open and convert the iPhoto library as necessary and you will be fine - once you test the iPhoto library you can delete the one on the desktop

  • I have a students excel package intalled on my Mac Book - can I also install this software on my new mac mini - do I need another license or can I populate two machines?

    I have a students excel package intalled on my Mac Book - can I also install this software on my new mac mini - do I need another license or can I populate two machines?

    Normally Microsft allows the installation of their programs, except Operating Systems, to be installed on a desktop and notebook at the same time as long as both system are used exclusively by the same person and Not at the same time.
    So this should also be true for MS Office for Mac. The only way to tell is to install it on the Mini and then use the same key to activate it. If the activation goes through you are fine. But if you run both system at the same time do not open any of the Office programs on both system at the same time. That may trigger MS to disallow one of the activations.
    MS Office for both Mac and Windows checks the local network and logs into the MS activation site everytime one of the apps is started to check current activation and to check if you have it running on more then one computer on your local network using the same key.

  • Invalid license after moving software to a new computer; old version disengaged

    I bought a new MacBook Pro. I copied PhotoShop Elements 10, along with other software, from my old Mac and added it to the new one. I got a request on the new Mac to enter the license. I did that and receive notice that the license was invalid. Some investigation revealed that I did not have permission to use the software on two computers. I disengaged the software on the old Mac. I'm still getting a request for the license, but every time I enter it, I get the same invalid license error message. I have emptied the cache and dumped cookies on my browser. What else can I do?
    Any help much appreciate; thanks!

    Your license does allow the use of the software on two computers. The problem is that you can never, never move an installed version of PSE. PSE is not a tidy package like most mac apps; its installer strews stuff all over your hard drive and you can never hope to get all the necessary bits and bobs. You must ALWAYS install PSE from scratch on a new machine.
    By attempting to move it, you have made a lot more problems for yourself. Now you will need to download and run this:
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    After which you can go around and manually remove all the PSE bits you've brought over. Look not only in Applications, but also in hard drive>library>Application Support>Adobe and also in your username>library>preferences. (You can't use spotlight to search. It's programmed to skip these kinds of files.)
    After that you can reinstall from scratch.

  • A basic question about upgrading iPhoto before moving to a new iMac

    I just ordered a new 27" iMac for my wife who uses several iLife programs and is a big user of iPhoto. Her present iMac still uses Tiger and iLife '08. Don't ask why Tiger! I'm wondering if there is any advantage/disadvantage to upgrading iLife to '09 before we move everything to the new iMac which will come with iLife '09? I'm not sure if the iPhoto library being upgraded on the current iMac would be moved to the new iMac "easier/cleaner" than copying the "old" library then placing it into "Pictures" (and opening it with '09 in the new iMac). For some reason it sounds "easier" to upgrade Before moving the library to the new iMac. Obviously this same "theory" applies to the other iLife applications. I'd rather ask this question today than to have to ask it when there's a great big problem!
    Many thanks for the suggestions.

    TD certainly you're right and I sit here laughing at the fact she has iPhoto '09 on her macbook Pro and '08 on her desktop. It wasn't until Saturday night that she let me put Snow Leopard on her MBP and I've been running it on my MBP and MP since it came out. Oh well. But at this point we'll upgrade the desktop (a PPC iMac) then can copy and move the library to the new iMac without some potential for problem.

  • Moving Acrobat 11 license from old computer to new

    I have Adobe Acrobat 11, purchased in March 2013.  My computer was damaged and I had to buy a new one.  Can I transfer the license from Acrobat 11 from the old computer to the new one?

    You don't have to transfer it.  But you can deactivate it on the old machine if it is still possible so that you retain the option for a second machine activation.
    Adobe allows you to install/activate on two machines, so you can just install on the new machine as long as you have the second activation still available.
