You don't need to do anything special, just copy over all your files. If 
you use the Mac's automatic file-copier (forget what it's called, but it 
copies all your files from one Mac to another, and new Macs usually 
offer to do that for you) then you probably won't need to do anything 
else at all. If Rev asks for your key on launch, your current license 
key will work because your platform hasn't changed, it's still OS X.

If you are manually moving your files, there are Rev-related files in 
places other than the Applications folder, so it's probably easier to 
just download the current version from the web site and install from 
that. Your own stacks can be copied anywhere you want, of course.
