Hi I just installed agent on a new computer. I have a registered
version on my laptop. Is there any way to retrieve the code from my
laptop?

If you move the old data folder to the new installation. I have done
it that way for years. However I always install to a folder in the
root C:\online\agent

Good. I always forget the change in the shortcut
Target = C:\OnLine\Agent\agent.exe

FYI the reg code is in your AGENT.INI file.

See this in the Agent help file:
Help >> Index >> .INI file >> AGENT.INI >> [Profile]
[Profile]
Key=


( As KenW has already answered, if you copy the old data folder to the
new installation then the reg key will come with it. )

I just did a straight file copy from the old drive to the new drive -
the reg key is in the agent.ini file so is easily located.

I don't as for me C: is my SSD and is reserved for the operating
system and whatever I fail to catch in time to move it to D:

My main data drive is D: and keeping the SSD with quite a large amount
of free space makes things run faster.
