Hello Stephen,

Please accept our apologies for the delay with the response. I understand the question and will do everything possible from my side to give you a clear explanation. 

To move the license from an old computer to a new one please do the following: 

1) Uninstall Acronis Agent by means of Add or Remove utility.

2) Connect to Acronis License Server and Remove the license:

3) Then add the license back:

4) Install Acronis Agent onto the new computer using this license.

5) Register this machine on Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Server (if you use it)..

Please note that you should recreate backup plans or backup policies that correspond to the old computer. 

Please do not hesitate to ask additional questions if the provided information is not clear or you need a further assistance. 

Thank you.

Thanks Oleg, I had already moved to new Laptop running win 7, Program is much faster but I have a few issues, UAC which you are correcting soon? and I can still not get any of my Agents to contact the License server every 5 days instead of the default 1 day, I have set this via Group policy but still checks every day.
Regards
Stephen
