Most of the time, there is no easy way to do this. A good example of this is Microsoft Office. During installation, it puts hundreds of files on your system, everywhere. Then it rights a few thousand entries in the register. Again, the whole place. But if it is a simple program you can get a manual. I made a few that you simply copy the folder C: \ Program Files \? Focus on the new computer. It works about 5% of the time, however. Typically, a relocation is necessary. If you are the owner of the software license, then you can contact the manufacture and purchase of a CD of them for a few bucks. Sometimes, if you search the Web, you can find a copy. Good luck

It is preferable to use a program like Ghost, Casper or transfer a copy of your old disk to the new one. If you need more help let me know, I will be happy to guide you through the process. (You can add to your messages by clicking add details on the right of your screen)

I am not suggesting to make backup software. Just backup data.
Keep the installation CD of origin
