Default Re: Is Carbon Copy Cloner the answer?

After twice having to re-authorize all of my 3rd party plugs (due to cpu problems)...Should I look into the CCC (or something like it)? In the event of another problem, Would this make life easier and quicker? Do these kind of applications work well?
How does it work? (Do I copy my entire sytem drive to another hard drive?)
MOST importantly...do 3rd party authorizations survive the "trip"?
thanks in advance

(I've searched the duc....just wanted some simple straight forward answers)
YES! (all of it)

...almost "yes" to all of it. Waves' plug-in authos do NOT trasfer directly to other hard drives, even with CCC. Waves reads the unique identifier of the hard drive and generates a new autho challenge specifically for that drive, which will not work on any other drive - you must contact them to get another autho code (bear in mind that you only bought "one" license when you purchased their plug-ins). If other plug-in authos don't directly tranfer, then their original codes do, so you just have to reauthorize with your initial code.
