    I'm getting a new Mac next week, and along with that, my Windows is changing from XP to 7. Is there anything I need to do in specific to transfer the parallels software I have to the new computer? Do I need to worry about licensing? I know I need to upgrade to Parllels 6 from 5, but I just don't want to have to buy the entire software when I could just transfer it from one machine to another.

    if you have kept the original install-dmg, you can install the current version on yr new Mac.
    but, I would say you have to upgrade to version 6 anyway, as I don't think version 5 will run properly on OS X 10.6.7.
    however I could be wrong.
