Transfer/Migrate specific apps including settings etc to a new Mac

macos applications migration

I did a clean install upgrade to OS X Yosemite (from Mavericks).

Prior to doing that I backed up my entire hard disk using a disk cloner (Carbon Copy Cloner in my case)

Is there a way I can transfer a few specific apps from my previous installation (including settings, licenses etc) to the new one?


Solution 1:

I don't have personal experience with it, but i've heard great things. Bear in mind you should check the list of software currently supported by it before you install.
