BusyCal or BusyContacts can be installed on up to 5 computers that you own, using the same registration code.
Depending on where you downloaded the apps from (Mac app store or directly from our website), all you need to do is download the apps again on the new computer and add the accounts you had in your old computer (such as iCloud, Google, Exchange, Fruux, Fastmail and so on).
BusyCal - Manual Migration
BusyContacts syncs with the built-in Contacts app on macOS and iOS and supports all leading cloud services, including iCloud, Google, Exchange and Twitter. BusyCal syncs with the new BusyCal for iOS, which offers the same power, flexibility, and reliability that BusyCal for Mac users have enjoyed for years including customizable Day, Week, Month and List views, integrated To Dos, live weather, tags, and more. It's the ultimate mobile companion to BusyCal.
Re-adding your accounts won't however sync your previously stored preferences though, including any 'On My Mac' calendars. If you care about those, you can perform a manual backup and restore.
BusyCal cares about this folder:
~/Library/Containers/com.busymac.busycal3/Data/Library/Application Support/BusyCal
and this file
~/Library/Containers/com.busymac.busycal3/Data/Library/Preferences/com.busymac.busycal3.plist
You can copy them manually from one computer to another, although you must launch BusyCal once on the new computer to set up the container.
On old computer:
In the Finder, select Go > Go to Folder, and paste the following:
~/Library/Containers/com.busymac.busycal3/Data/Library/Application Support
Grab the BusyCal folder
