Migrate Application To New Mac
Hi,
I'm in the process of setting up a new mac. I wanted to set it up 100% fresh.
I've just finished migrating my files over. Is it possible to migrate individual applications from one mac to another.
I don't want to migrate all apps? Thanks in advance for your help.

Most Apps are just copied. You can connect the systems to the same network, share the Applications folder and just drag and drop. If you enable remote login you can rsync them. A few licensed Apps, such as Microsoft Office, will need a reinstall to generate a license key, no matter what.

Great, thanks. A couple of questions:
01 - is there any downside to copying an app over like this?
02 - what is the best way to connect two macs over a wireless router (the new mac is usb c so i don't have a cable to connect them)
