Macs had the migration assistant for years before the PC. And it copies all the right files etc so your licenses transfer along with all your programs and data, including users and user settings. In fact, you can pick which users you want to migrate. You plug the macs together using a firewire or usb cable and boot which ever you want to copy from holding the t key. The second Mac comes up on the first mac just like and external hard drive. As a mater of fact I've booted one mac holding the t key so it comes up as an external hard drive, then held the option key on the first mac so it lets you pic a system to boot from and booted from the system/hard drive on the second computer.

I graduated in 77, the year they came out with the Apple II. Did take some local collage drafting and illustration, etc classes after started working in the drafting department. Their CAD system they were trying to get students on was one of those you had to actually write in fortran to draw the stuff. I was already using computer programs based on quickdraw and postscript where you used what is today considered standard CAD drawing tools. When I took the illustration class took copies of a couple of drawings I did for out catalog and ended up teaching the illustration class. It was still Pen and Ink back then.

Just as I left being in charge of drafting I was trying to get them to use a program that ran on the mac that you could open solid works files and it would create absolutely beautiful technical illustrations. But...didn't happen.
