I've networked several computers and would like to move a bunch of files and programs from one computer to another (you've read that in another thread). Has anyone used this program or similar programs for moving non-OS programs from one computer to another?

I'm thinking of purchasing this one in order to mitigate my moving problems. Comments?

Dave

move applications? that's an impressive statement, especially if it migrates to vista

yeah, i know, that's what i was referring to

I just noticed that this is like a one-way license: only to move selected programs from one computer to another computer, not to move programs from one to different computers. I may not understand that correctly.

Dave

yeah, it seems to be just aimed at the single computer user - not be able to put in use for migrating your network in one go

It may not be what I want since it has that limitation. I was really hoping to take most of the programs off one computer and put it on two other computers (not duplicating programs, but moving certain programs to a desktop and certain programs to a laptop).

Dave

yeah, wouldn't buy it only to find out it wasn't possible

I'm going to contact them and explain my situation. I'll see if they have some alternative besides buying a bunch of licenses.

In the mean time, I'll look for some other software like that.
