licence.dat, Mach3lic.dat or similar in your mach3 folder in C: needs copying.
If you back up your whole Mach3 folder you will have your license file.

This is the best way to do it because then if you have any custom macro's or screens ie: probing etc they are saved as well.

I assume you aren't selling your old PC with your license on it, what with Mach3 licenses not being transferrable ;-)

it may be worth making a note of which version of Mach3 you have on your old PC
just in case you have a problem with the latest version when you install Mach 3 on your new PC
