Move Seasonality to a new Mac

Install Seasonality

First, determine if you’ve purchased Seasonality from the App Store or from the website. If you’ve purchased from the website (before 2010), download the latest version from the Seasonality website. After you install the app on your new Mac, copy the serial number from your old Mac to your new one. To do this, open Seasonality on your old Mac, and then select the License menu item from the Seasonality menu. That should show the registration window with your serial number. Copy that serial number to the same window on your new Mac.

If you’ve purchased from the Mac App Store, then open the App Store and check under your previous Purchases for Seasonality. You should be able to install it from there free. No serial numbers are required for the Mac App Store version.

Move Data

To move data Seasonality has saved to a new Mac, you’ll want to copy the Seasonality container directory to the new machine. Switch to the Finder, and hold down the Option key on your keyboard while opening the Go menu at the top of the screen. Select the Library folder to open a new Finder window showing the contents of your Library folder. From there, check in the Containers folder for another folder named com.gauchosoft.seasonality (The full path should be ~/Library/Containers/com.gauchosoft.seasonality/). Make sure Seasonality is not running, then copy that folder to the same location on your new Mac. Finally, before starting Seasonality again, reboot to ensure the Seasonality preferences don’t get overwritten by cached data.
