New Macbook Pro.. LOTRO transfer?

Hello, uh.. To start off I have been using Crossover Games for about meh, 1 1/2 weeks now, thoroughly enjoyed it and now intend
to buy it when my new computer arrives (tomorrow). But, being slightly lost about how all the files work for PyLOTRO and such,
was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction.. I am going to transfer my old computer (iMac) files to the new Macbook
and I am still on a trial version of CXG. I am going to buy the full version on the new computer, but I want to know if it is possible to transfer
all the files that hold my characters and stuff onto the new computer? Any help would be great! And sorry if this is confusing.. But thanks
for any help ahead of time.
And I'm sorry if someone has already asked this, I searched around the website pretty intently to find nothing..

Assuming you use one of Apple's mechanism for transferring your files from one machine to another, you should be good to go.

When you do the transfer, it will copy the "<you>/Library/Application Support/CrossOver Games" directory, as well as your Documents Directory. "<you>/Documents/The Lord of the Rings Online/" All of the LOTRO game and support files are in those two directories. (The only other file is "<you>/Library/Preferences/com.codeweavers.CrossOverGames.plist" which should also be copied but will be re-created by CXG when you re-launch it the first time on the new system.) [ Weird... on my display "plist" is displaying with a space instead of as one word.]

The only difference between the Trial Version of CXG and the paid version is the registration. You can check and make certain you have the latest version of CXG ... 9.2, but that is just a "drop-in" to your system /Applications directory.

BTW: all of the character information is maintained on Turbine servers. Only any Plugins or UI saves are maintained on your system.
