Hello,
I am seeking wisdom from any in the group about the most painless way
to move Mac ppc to Mac intel with regards to GPO. I've got a MacBook
replacing a G4 PB. I did the standard Apple "migration," and am
working my way through my applications, handling transfer of
authorizations as I go.
Complicating this is the move from PPC (10.4.11) to Intel (10.5.4). I
will also be upgrading to FinMac 2008 (that's easy, as it will be a
fresh install). I've got it all mostly worked out, but have not yet
tried to tackle GPO. I have the full version of GPO, not just the
Finale-provided one. And I previously, on the old computer, upgraded
to the intel-ready Kontakt 2 player (surprisingly painless, and a huge
improvement).
I used migration to bring over all my applications. I know I will
have to deauthorize/reauthorize Finale 2007 and earlier. I'm not sure
which earlier ones will run OK. Can any of you long-time Mac current
Mac Intel users comment on successes or problems? I remember also
someone (Robert P?) mentioning using Sheepsaver. Will that work for
the older classic versions of Finale?
About the full GPO -- if anyone has done this successfully, could you
recommend some steps? What first? Can I work with what Apple
Migration brought over? Or should I reinstall the program from the
original disks, then deal with authorizations through the website?
Then update to Kontakt 2? Any advice about the deauthorization/
reauthorization process?
This whole thing makes me really appreciate my iLok!
Thanks in advance,
David Froom
