    My dad recently bought a mac book pro second hand with lots of essential expensive software i need on my mac book pro for my college course, which is media, these are softwares like Final Cut Pro, Logic, and few others.
    Does anybody know anyone who can transfer these softwares to my mac book pro.
    I dont want to have to buy these softwares all over again when they are on a family members laptop. I have tried to family share them but apple wont let me share the softwares from one laptop to another.

    Apple will see it as piracy the EU see it as perfectly acceptable to transfer software. You could try small claims court but you'd run into an issue that you'll first need to transfer the stuff from the seller of the second hand laptop and two transfers may not be possible.

    Does your college not suggest any free alternatives or give you access to a student license of some sort? Or VPN access to use a lab PC?

    use the computers in college.

    you could get avid media composer first for free if you want to edit...

    and then use a studio in college with pro tools or whatever they use for your sound
