You can use the same licence on 2 computers. Just install and enter your key.

I might have jumped the gun kinda stuck i downloaded the software but I currently cannot connect my laser to the mac as it doesnt have any usb ports (first time owner of macbook) but my laser connects to the old laptop via usb so how do i connect it to the mac so i can use the software

If you are only using it for design and such, and plan to use the other computer to run the laser, you do not have to have the macbook connected to the laser. It will run fine without a laser connected.

Sounds like you have solved this now.

For reference here are 2 options for addressing this:

  1. export your device settings from your current computer and import in the new computer. You can find this by pushing Devices button in Laser window
  2. manually create your device on the Mac as it seems you have done.

Also, I’m not aware of any Mac without a USB port. Is it that you have USB-C ports and not USB-A ports? In that case, you can get a USB-C to USB-A adapter that will allow you to connect the cable to your computer. I believe there are also USB-C to USB-B cables but may be less common.
