Possible solution: EaseUS Todo PCTrans Free.


-------------------
Customer has a DJ program he wants transferred to another computer. Which program should I use to move his program?

The program is PCDJ.

I suppose you've asked for the installation media and licence key, and they've both mysteriously disappeared? Thought so.

Macrium Reflect. Serious answer.

You might get a clone of the drive to work in the new computer, at which point you can get everything else set up around the DJ software. I don't fancy your chances of moving a single program over any other way.

Was thinking of a program that will backup just a piece of software, rather than cloning and transferring everything.

As @Computer Bloke said it's the installation media and key. There's a reason why it's so hard to do it any other way. There's a good chance it's called piracy.

I don't usually let my customers corner me into "transferring" a program. I've wasted way too much time, and been burned too many times trying to do this.

If they can't provide the licensing and installation media then I just simply tell them they will need to repurchase the product. Some of my clients want me to transfer things like Quicken 2011 onto their new computer and I don't even bother anymore. If you are spending money on a new computer and a full setup then spend the money on your software too.

The only software I've had consistent luck with are software that is usually EXTREMELY old and doesn't make entries into Program Files/Windows/Registry ... they simply fully install themselves into their own directory. Some of that super old stuff you can literally just drag an drop it onto a new computer.

The program is PCDJ. Wonder if the license key is able to be found within the program. Sent the company an email.
