Moving movie studio 17 to a new computer. Some questions.

I have movie studio 12 platinum and movie studio 17 platinum on my roughly 9 year old computer. It is too underpowered to ever use movie studio 17 effectively, I just used it to do a few animations in my movies and then went back to using movie studio 12. So finally I can afford a new computer, AMD Ryzen 7 with 16 gigs of ram, I was planning to move the movie studio 17 to it and leave the 12 where it is on my everyday browsing computer till it finally fails. Are there any issues with doing that? Do I have to remove the 17 from the old computer first or inform Vegas of the plan before I proceed? Also, if I start off making a movie with studio 12, can I just grab the movie folders later and drop them into my new computer and continue working on them with platinum 17? Thanks in advance.

The following applies to VEGAS Movie Studios as well:

"9. How many computers can I use VEGAS Pro on?
You can use VEGAS Pro (14.0 and later) simultaneously on 2 devices. VEGAS Pro 365 can be used on 1 device at a time.

To deactivate a device, so you can activate a different one, visit your MAGIX account > My Products > Show More Details > Deactivate. This option can be used only once a month.

In VEGAS Pro 14.0 or later, you can also choose Deactivate the Software on this PC from the Help menu This option can be used as often as you wish. An internet connection is required.

Older versions of Vegas Pro than 14.0 are licensed under a system (as previously used by Sony) which permits use on multiple computers by one user; after an unspecified number of installations on different or updated PCs you may need to contact support to reset your "installation count"."
