Moving from a PC to a MAC

Hi all-

I think this may be more of a support question (and couldn't find an answer by searching) but in case it isn't I'll post it here. I'm in the process of moving from a PC to a Mac and had two questions

1. Is my license valid for an installation on a Mac if I've already used it on a PC?

2. Can my solo league convert from the PC to Mac version as well? If not, is this supported by a later version of the game?

Thanks!

I think OOTP X might have been the last version where PC and Mac licenses were not interchangable. Does it still use eLicense? Those were not transferrable. OOTP 11 and 12 have licenses that are usable on either Macs or PCs.

However, the league files should interchangeable. Simply copy the .lg folder to a flash drive to transfer back and forth.

I am also assuming you meant to post this in the OOTP X forums and that you are asking about OOTP X.

Thanks for answering so quickly! It is elicense. So it sounds like my best option is to upgrade to a newer version on my Mac. I know an OOTP 11 league can be imported into 12 but can a X league?

ASIDE: I thought I had posted this in X; apologies if I mis-posted.
