Can you copy access databases and other software from a desktop to a laptop?

Is it possible to copy software from my desktop to my laptop? I have a few databases and lotus notes I need to move to my laptop and do not know how to do it.

  1. Unfortunately, NO - software has to be installed because certain keys are written to the registry to enable the software to run properly. To be legally correct, you would need to purchase the software to install on another computer, unless you have a license to use the software on more than 1 computer. Good luck anyway!
  2. Software no, data yes. Install M$-Office and then use CD, Flash Drive, etc. to transfer your data files to the new PC.
