I bought the edit software at Best Buy, but just got a new computer. Will I be able to use the same disk to put that software on my new computer?

Read the back of the box. Read the specs. If it says something like Windows XP SP2 or later, then as long as the computer’s XP or Vista, it will work.
If the first one’s Windows, and the second one’s Mac, then no. It won’t work.
You need to read the licensing restrictions in the terms of use for the software. Although, physically you should be able to load the software to several computers you own, legally you are normally only allowed to load the program on to one computer.
If you upgraded your computer and you remove the software from your older computer you are normally within legal parameters.
