Drag-and-drop or iCloud sync for new install?move

Thanks so much for the prompt and helpful reply, as usual! Just two things, to clarify:

  1. I understand that the registration won’t be copied over from the old computer. But will copying over the old folder from my (currently registered) iMac install screw up the registration on the new install (I already registered before transferring the databases)? Someone here said doing that erased their new registration. Unfortunately I just registered the new install, so I can’t unregister it (to transfer the folder, then reregister it) for several days.

  2. Will it work just as well to download the databases to the new install via iCloud sync? Or is that more likely to cause issues? Just curious if there are any advantages or downsides to either method (other than that copying the folder retains the old Settings).

Thanks again!

Will
