Transfer pre-installed software to another MacBook Pro

I purchased a MacBook Pro last year with Logic Pro pre installed by Apple. I need to move this software to another new MacBook Pro, is this possible, and if so, how?

Many thanks for any advice

Do a Time Machine backup of the old Mac.

Connect the TM backup disk to the new Mac.

When you get the new Mac and start it up the first time invoke Setup Assistant.

Then tell it to restore from the TM backup.

Thanks, Alan. But will that back up everything else, ie. not just the said software? Is there a way of exporting a user's home file (currently there are 4 users on the machine).

Thanks
