Thank you for answer me. I purchased it from an authorized Apple seller. However, I'm curious about the unusual entries in my system.log. Is this a common occurrence on other Macs? I'm aware that Apple utilizes their devices for location tracking and other app-related activities. Is it the case?
if the original owner did not perform this complex ritual, and deliver the computer to you running ONLY Setup Assistant, you probably need to go though this procedure yourself.
Apple software downloaded from the Mac App Store, including MacOS, is not copy protected. However, it IS tagged with the Apple-ID of the purchaser when "purchased" (or equivalent. Think of MacOS as purchased on sale for $0.) A valid Apple-ID is required for almost all downloads from the Mac App Store.
You cannot update, upgrade, or install new software based on already-installed software UNLESS you supply the Apple-ID of the original software.
