Transfer old laptop applications and license to new laptop

Hi there,


I just got a new laptop and I have the old Microsoft Office and Adobe application in the old laptop. How can I move the application and licenses to the new laptop? Thanks

MacBook Air 13″, OS X 10.11

Follow the instructions for "transferring information" described in Set up your new Mac - Apple Support.


That does everything possible to transfer whatever license keys are used by those products, but if it does not work then you'll need to contact Microsoft and Adobe respectively.


If you already set up your new Mac and skipped the opportunity to transfer information from the older one, you can use Migration Assistant described in How to move your content to a new Mac - Apple Support.
