My iMac died today so I have no way to access it. I have a current Time Machine backup on my Synology NAS, well, at least the latest time stamp is from today so I hope the backup completed before the machine died.
I have ordered a new iMac and it appears that restoring from the Time Machine backup should be fairly straightforward, however, I have not found and information as to how the licenses are handled. I am running Windows 10 with software such as Microsoft Excel, Word and PowerPoint, all 2019 editions. I assume that since the licenses are typically tied to a machine ID somewhere, that these programs will not run after being restored. Has anyone been through this? I think many of my license keys were stored in emails on the Mac that I can no longer access so I am not sure I can find them all.
