Looks like you’ve been sorted, but I’ll post my alternative solution anyway.
I had the same thing with Lightroom (pre-subscription, when they sold perpetual licenses). I used to just copy the .exe from one machine to another, and then let it update to latest version from Adobe’s servers.
But for my latest new toy / PC, I found out Adobe stopped supporting the perpetual license version years ago.
Started googling and found that others had done the work for me. The last perpetual Lightroom version is on the Wayback Machine! And contributors to various interwebz photography fora had exhumed it, posted links on said fora, and even worked out how to get it to recognise those 16 digit license codes without the app phoning home.
I can happily continue using my old software like the trailing edge techno-troglodyte that I am.
My understanding is that all you have to do is go into finder, go into the Application folder and copy the (I'm guessing the folder name) Notepad folder to the new machine
well that's disappointing, I'd be interested to hear how, if you do, resolve this. I suspect you will need to choose a new notepad app and redevelop how your workflow, erh ..flows.

This is heartwarming AF. Take that Adobe!
They add tabs to the notepad in Windows. How dare they.
I mean, it's good and useful after I grudgingly started using them, but I was not consulted on this change so I was immediately against it.
Also, you get what you get with a Mac and you better fucking like it.
Right? How dare they make the very basic scribble pad even more useful? Outrageous!
Can you get the .exe from your current Mac and install it on the new Mac? I'm a PC person so I have no idea how any of this would work... 🤷♀️

Curse you, Mat. I was planning on bitching and moaning about this for months.
Feel free, none of us are going to know if it worked or not ... and then you can also feel smug about pulling one over us :-)
If you try it and it doesn't work you would then be JUSTIFIED in bitching and moaning about it for months...
I'm pretty sure that Conan had something to say on the matter ...
faux bitching and moaning with a side of smugness is what truly makes for a great Christmas
