Transferring program from 1 computer to another?

Question

I have a couple of computers. I have a program on one computer and want it on another. I can't find the disk, so I am trying to figure out if I can transfer it somehow. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Okay here's what I suggest since you have a valid license key.  I'm going to assume you don't know it.  Get the program Belarc Adviser.  Download here http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html this will capture all your programs and their serial numbers.  Then go to www.phazeddl.com and do a search for the program you lost the disc for.  Download program, install enter your serial key.  Problem solved.

Answer 2

PC's have a hard time moving software from one PC to another.  You could try buying a cheap flash drive.  Once you have your flash drive in the usb port, go to Start, my computer (just "computer" in Vista) then double click on Removable Drive (letter here ex. F): and drag and drop the program that you want to transfer to the flash drive.  I'm not 100 % sure this will work but it's worth a try.

Answer 3

you will need the disk as just using the program folder does not include the necessary ini files loaded into your windows system files. the program might work but will become unstable. try to find a torrent somewhere for it.

Answer 4

usually, no, you cannot "transfer" it;  you must have the install disk.

Answer 5

If you've lost or don't have access to your original installation CDs, then it could cost you hundreds of dollars to buy licensed versions of each software application to install on the new system or hard drive.

Fortunately there are a couple easy ways to transfer your software programs from one hard drive to another, or from one computer to another - and without breaking the bank.

1. Laplink PCmover is a migration utility that moves programs, files, and settings from your old PC to your new PC.

Simply install PCmover on both your old and new computers and it will determine which programs, files, and settings need to be moved. When the transfer is complete, your new computer will have the personality and functionality of your old PC plus all of its own pre-installed software.

PCmover works with almost any Windows operating system, from Windows 95 to Vista. You can even use PCmover to migrate your PC to an Intel-based Mac.

One thing I like about PCmover is it's selectivity features. You can choose which applications, folders and files to take with you when you migrate to your new PC or hard drive.

PCmover can migrate your PC across a network, Laplink USB cable, Laplink parallel cable, Windows Easy Transfer Cable, or any type of removable media that can be read by both PCs. If your computer has multiple users, PCmover gives you the option to migrate some or all of the users at once. The security information about file ownership and access control is preserved for each user.

2. Disk Imaging Software: Another way to transfer programs to another hard drive or system is by using disk imaging software that creates an exact image (copy) of your hard drive. You can then copy that image to another hard drive, another partition, or another computer system.

Disk imaging software like Genie Soft Backup Manager Home 8.0 (my personal favorite) or Acronis True Image 11 will create an exact image of your hard drive, including all software programs, email messages - even the operating system itself. You can then take this disk image and copy it to another hard drive or system.

I transferred FL studio from my laptop to my computer successfully, by putting the programs files on a CD and then transferring it.

I don't know the technical terms, but in the C folder where the program files are, find the files of the program u want then drag and wrote onto a CD.

it worked for me
