Issues with iLife portability

Hello!

When I try to add iLife to my new laptop within the App Store, here's what I'm greeted with:

Then, when I click Accept, I get 2 errors:

Is there a special way to un-assign the iLife apps from the other laptop so I may use them on this newer machine?

Thank you in advance!

App Store issues High Sierra MacBook Pro For a long time now when I search for apps in the AppStore on my computer, I get super funky results. Things that don’t relate to the name of what I’ve searched at all, nothing but third party apps etc. Even when searching for apps I know exist. I have an older MacBook Pro, purchased back in early 2012. Didn’t need it to be high tech so didn’t really bother with many updates. Was perviously running Yosemite, so I updated to High Sierra thinking that might fix things. I still can’t find apps I’m looking for. When I search them on safari, I can find them in the store on Apple.com and have verified that my OS is up to date enough to support the app, yet when I click on “view in Mac App Store” in safari, I get the message “application not available in the US” I currently have this app on both and iPhone and an iPad that are all under the same Apple ID as the computer, and have Family Sharing on but still can not get the app to show up to be able to put it on my computer anywhere no matter how I try to work around the crappy search results I keep running into for some reason (the app in particular I can seem to find is Classical Conversations Memory Work Cycle 3). I have cleared caches and restarted several times. Still no luck. Any ideas of how to get this already purchased app onto this older computer would be amazing! And a fix to this issue with the AppStore would be a bonus. 1) below is the result I get when I search the AppStore app installed on the computer 2)followed by finding the app in the AppStore online 3) next is after clicking to “view in Mac App Store” 4) the app successfully installed on my iPhone downloaded from the US store

Cannot buy/update/download any app from Mac App Store Hi, I had to reinstall OS in my MacBook Air 2012. First, I installed El Capitan and everything worked fine. I could download/update/buy apps from Mac App Store without any problems. Updated to OS Mojave. I know I could update my MacBook Air to Catalina but I don't want to because many of my Adobe programs will not work (CS 5.5). Since updating to Mojave I cannot download nor buy any apps. When want to download or buy an app, the spinning wheel occurs. I have managed to download only a single app via safe mode. I logged out from Mac App Store, logged out from iCloud account, rebooted, reinstalled OS, and did all the steps I found on the web. I am able to download/update/buy anything on my iMac/iPad/iPhone with no problems at all. And as I said, I can download/update/buy anything as long as an older OS is installed. There seems to be a problem with Mac App Store on Mojave. Any ideas what can I do more? Regards

Did you adopt these same apps on the other Mac when it was new? If, so, these apps should appear in your Purchased list and not need to be adopted again.
