Transferring Data

I jus got a new laptop and was using the easy transfer cable from XP to
Vista. I transferred the programs, but when I open them up on the new
laptop, one says a required registration key was not found. Another program
needs a serial number.....aren't these supposed to come over in the transfer?
I downloaded the one program needing a registration key and it did not
install correctly. Does anyone have any idea what I can do.

Any help would be appreciated as the one program is a qualitative research
coding program and is very expensive.

Thanks.

Personally I would install the programs from their origonally supplied
media, & not rely on any transfer wizard

I did install the one software program from the originally supplied media,
but when it is done installing, it comes back with an error message saying
not installed correctly.
