HI All

A new Imac just came home from the apple store today, 2.66 Ghz duocore
with 2 gig of ram, which will probably go to 4 gig soon...I finally
joined the intel crowd. I've never used the migration tool before, but
as we all know setup is a tedious task and not a lot of fun so the
tool is tempting. However I seem to remember some issues especially
with adobe products, registration and activation for same. I would
assume that I would need to at least deactivate the adobe stuff and
then reactivate once on the new computer, but due to the complexity of
the suites I'm not sure even trying to migrate them is a good idea.
Most other apps especially apple ones I would think would be safe, but
then I often get in trouble for thinking.

If I try this migration tool is it all or nothing? Or can I pick and
choose what to import and not to import? It would be from Leopard to
another Leopard machine. I've also heard somewhere that as of Adobe
CS3 the number of deactivates and reactivation is limited, is that
true, and if so what are the limits? If exceeded what are my options
if any? I'm considering taking the old machine back to Tiger for full
usage and compatibility for Adobe CS2 products to cover my activation
per product limits. Actually Acrobat is my only real problem there,
but kind of important sometimes. I'm now even considering doing the
base jump to CS4 which I really hadn't planned on as CS3 services my
needs quite well. Why should I consider CS4 if anyone has any
experience? The primary programs I use other then golive are
dreamweaver, photoshop, and illustrator. However I hadn't planned on
buying an intel machine this soon either which was part of the reason
I was targeting CS5 as my next upgrade.

All advise appreciated, even harangues from we know who, who is
probably still grieving over the loss of a midget ninja strike team.
