Copy application on one pc to another
How do i copy the software from one pc to another? Is this possible? I have it installed on one pc but I lost the CD and will be selling the old pc so I want to be able to copy it to my new pc but it's asking for a product key. Where do I find the product key without having to buy a new one? I was told the system registry should store it but i cant find it.

It's a engineering software used to read and test hardware. It's a custom proprietary software.

Yeah I tried that and I couldnt find anything. Do you think the product key is the Binary data in the key?

See if Belarc Advisor can retrieve the product key code for your app - http://www.belarc.com/free
Run Belarc - it may pause @ 54% (normal), then output will open in a web browser. About 1/2-way down are key codes.
If you lack the DVD or original download, see if a trial version of the proprietary app is offered. Quite often, the trial can be converted to full-blown production version after keycode is entered. If problems ensue, check with software manufacturer - explain that you had to re-install OS. They are usually helpful.

PC mover only requires a license purchase for a 1 time move right? Which version do I get? and are there any other suggestions?
what do you mean with which version ??

Ok, question - can I use Norton's GHOST to copy the hard drive image to use on the new system? Will the application work?

if you want the professional, or home version, that is for you to decide, after checking their options and possibilities.
