I am uncertain as to the best method of completing the above exercise.  The easiest would be to re-download directly from Calico Pie although I don't think an activation code was necessary but would some sort of proof of ownership be necessary? Obtain a crossover cable and transfer the software across from one machine to the other. Last but not least, transfer everything to a USB and re-load on the new machine from there. (I am not convinced that this would achieve the desired outcome because of possible hidden file or files and an install requirement.)   Any advice/help gratefully received   Nigel Burton
