[Avid-L2] Re: Upgrade to new OS & v5 gotchas?

Here's what I found on my recent upgrade on a MBP 17 inch from os 10.5.8 or .6 to 10.6.3. I deactivate MCsoft 4.0.5. Carbon Copy Cloned to an external drive. Upgraded OS. At this point I reactivated MCsoft 4.0.5 just to see if it worked and it did. I deactivated again and uninstalled. Installed MC 5 and put in the new Serial number and boom it worked. Today I did find that some of my Microsoft Office apps in the dock had a "?" for an icon but hovering over them would pop up the name, e.g. PowerPoint etc. I went to the applications folder and redragged the apps to the dock and trashed the "?"s and they all seem to be working. Word icon was uneffected but excel, powerpoint,and a couple others turned into "?". I've also seen the my Paragon latest version still works. So far so good.
