#Quarkxpress 4.0 install
Do I need the original disks to install QuarkXPress 9, as I only have an upgrade? I have first bought QuarkXPress 6 and then upgraded to 7 and 8 and now 9. Before you do that, remember step 1) though!!!
#Quarkxpress 4.0 upgrade
This should also work if you upgrade your current Mac to Yosemite or El Capitan. Please remember, Quark doesn't support this combination.
#Quarkxpress 4.0 update
We don't have all a list of all the issues you might experience and also there's no guarantee that Apple won't remove some of the Carbon functions in a later update of Yosemite which might render QuarkXPress 9 unusable on Yosemite or El Capitan. Please note that some dialogs will look a bit weird and you might experience a few hiccups.

It will prompt you that it is not activated yet. (Remember that this is dangerous when you have several user accounts on your Mac using QuarkXPress, so in this case delete this folder again after step 10).

On the new Mac create a global preferences folder for QuarkXPress 9 in its application folder.You could try copy the folder over too if you don't want to use the Migration Assistant, however I haven't tried that. Start Apple's Migration Assistant and make sure you migrate the application folder of QuarkXPress 9 to the new Mac.Connect the two Macs (see Apple's Migration Assistant tech note below).Afterwards you won't need it anymore to run QuarkXPress 9. On the new Mac start QuarkXPress 2015 once and activate the "3-day Test Drive" so that you can create a new document with it (this will ensure that certain files are in place for QuarkXPress 9).On the new Mac, install the Test Drive of QuarkXPress 2015.On your old Mac use the menu "QuarkXPress > Transfer QuarkXPress License…" inside QuarkXPress 9 to deactivate the QuarkXPress license on your old machine.Please ensure that you do that as the first step, as under Yosemite you can't do that anymore! This is important as if you use a lower version than QuarkXPress 9.5.4 you will experience crashes!
