I have just purchased a new Macbook Pro to replace my Macbook Air. **What is necessary to transfer Dramatica Store Expert 5.0.6 (build 52) to the new machine?**

I searched the internet and this forum unsuccessful. If there is an article or thread, somebody please point me to it.

## Thanks

Mike

I did this a few months back. Not sure how you plan on transferring it, but I did mine from Time Machine back-up. Once transferred and upon opening Dramatica, I was directed to re-activate my purchase. You can activate it with an internet connection, I think by it recognizing your IP address. Otherwise, there’s a long product activation code to insert somewhere. To get it, you may need your serial number (the website [here](http://support.screenplay.com/contact/) gives you directions.) I think I did mine via the internet connection, but it was done fairly quick (a matter of minutes) and pain-free.

Yes - it was just as you said. Easy

Thank you!
