    It depends where you bought them from.

    If you bought them from the mac app store, then all you have to do on the new mac is log in to the mac app store using your apple ID and you can download any of your past purchases for free

    If you bought them elsewhere, you should check the email/file/booklet where your registration key for the app is printed to see how many times it can be registered. If it is more than 1, simply download the installers for the apps on the new mac and enter your registration codes. if you can only use the registration code once, you should deactivate the code in the app on the mac you no longer wish to use, and then use that same code to activate the app on the new mac.
