    hello fellow mac users ,

    Today i used migration assistant to tansfer the application folder from my time machine backup to my new mac. The thing is the backup is from my old macbook pro that was running mavericks ,it was then copied to my new one that is running sierra. Now the whole folder was coppied and installed using migration assistant but now when i open the apps on my new mac most of them need authorization and are running as demos.As you may suspect most of the vsts and apps come from the sister site so i was wondering is there any other files i need copied from my old mac so i wont need to reauthorize all the apps and vsts.

    the best way to do this is first make a copy to external hd with Carbon Copy Clonner app, then in a fresh new machine install the same osx and make a copy with Migration Assistant.
    I tryed everything and for me this is the best metod
