I wouldn't count on software working if you just move it over. I would definitely not clone the G4 system to the G5, since there may be some hardware driver preference issues. Whether or not the authorizations work depends on the mechanism that each vendor uses. Waves, for example, generates the Challenge key based on your physical hard disk, so any Waves plugins will need to be reauthorized regardless of how you transfer the files. -- agreenbu @ nyx . net andrew michael greenburg
