Q: Aperture - Migration to a new Mac

I used migration assistant to move everything from my old Imac to my new MBP, running Mountain Lion. Everything works excpet Aperture which is asking for a registration code. I dont have the packaging or CD anymore, so dont have the code. Looked at the Imac version and under about Aperture it shows its registered to me and a serial code. I keyed this in but Aperture says its not correct. So how can I find out the registration code ? Thanks

    Your old registration code, that you are seeing in the "About" panel on your old Mac should work, unless your licence is an upgrade licence from Aperture 2. In this case you need to enter the Aperture 2 serial number too. Check, if you entered the serial number correctly - some letters can easily be confused.

    If you do not have your serial number any longer, you need to contact Apple for a replacement serial number and provide a proof of puchase.

    Thanks ! I had to take a picture of my code on the iMac, then enlarge it to check the characters, having done this I was able to enter the "correct" code.

     

    Thanks for your fast response.
