    Hello. I have a question, how can I transfer an installed program (without losing its data) from one computer to another? I have heard that it is possible with a winrar.

    Winrar has nothing to do with it. Tell me what the program is. It depends where the program saves the data, whether in the program directory or in a folder, e.g.% AppData%

    If you have the medium from which the installation was made, finding data stored on one machine and transferring it to another is not a problem. The stairs start when you do not have such a carrier or you are concerned about the legality of your actions. Just like the previous speaker, what is this program and what should it be installed on? On a numerical machine or on an ordinary PC.

    Depending on the program. Copy all data - files, program folders, and registry keys - often the file list is stored in the uninstall.log file.
    It should be borne in mind that there are sometimes secured programs that cannot be run on a different (than this particular) computer.

    Generally, the best solution will be to install the same program on a second computer and transfer the data itself, of course, if the program does not add a computer ID to the saved data, then it will not work because another computer has a different ID. I still ask for the name of the program.

    It is a program written by a friend, it contains information about parts, quantities etc. Unfortunately, I lost contact with him

    The easiest way is to simply copy the entire folder with the application where it was installed to the second computer, if the data is ok, if it does not appear on the other computer then we will think.

Topic summary

Transferring an installed program from one computer to another without data loss can be complex and depends on various factors, including where the program stores its data (e.g., in the program directory or in AppData). While WinRAR is mentioned, it is not directly related to the transfer process. The best approach is to install the same program on the second computer and then transfer the data, provided the program does not tie data to a specific computer ID. If the original installation medium is available, the process is simpler. In cases where the original program is custom-made and contact with the developer is lost, copying the entire program folder may be a viable solution, although success is not guaranteed.
