    You have to find the installation file and
    actually install in on the other PC.

    Hiiiiiii Davexnet
    Thank you so much for helping me.
    Can you tell me what an installation file looks like
    where do I find it
    and can I move it with a thumb drive.
    Or anything else I need to know to do it properly
    Thanks so very much
    Ema

    It's usually and EXE file (eg. somename.exe)

    Yes you can move it with a thumb drive.

    Hi I found the whole folder but no exe in there
    I moved it to the other pc and then tried to start it
    It wanted me to register it which I couldnt.
    Do you know where I would find just the exe or should I just give up.
    Thanks for the help

    I think you're out of luck.
    If you could remember the name, perhaps you could do a
    hard drive search. Beyond that, I'm out of ideas.

    There is no easy way to transfer a program from one computer to another. When you originally installed it in computer A, it wrote entries (serno etc) into the windows registry. Moving the program folder to computer B won't work in most cases because computer B won't have the necessay registry entries needed.

    There are specialized programs that will "move" the program from computer A to B and make it work (because it will also move all the registry entries. (laplink pcmover and anovasoft softrescue). That's an option if you can't find your original installation files/serno.
