User level: Level 1 (4 points)How do I transfer final cut pro that was shipped installed on my old macbook, onto my new mac mini?
(My old macbook won't connect to the web because the software needs an update before it can connect.)

If you previously accepted it into your Apple Account, redownload Final Cut from it on the Mac mini. Otherwise, connect the old computer to the web, click here, and follow the instructions.

The licence belongs to you not your computer.
So you can put FCP on every Mac you own . . . assuming you are not a data centre!

If you have an external drive or memory stick you can simply copy it across.
