Note that as per our EULA you are limited to transferring a license 4 times per year. The relevant section in the EULA is included below.
It is highly recommended that you back up your QLM License Server before migrating your products to a new client system.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure you NEVER "upload products to the License Server" from the new system until it has the new product definitions. If you are presented with a prompt to upload your products to the server, answer NO or Cancel.
Uninstall QLM from the current system in order to deactivate the license
Make a backup of the following folder, including subfolders, on the old system:
%appdata%\Soraco\Quick License Manager
%localappdata%\Soraco_Technologies_Inc\IsQuickLicenseMgr*_StrongName_<xxx>\w.x.y.z\user.config
Copy the backed-up files from the old system to the corresponding location on the new system.
Edit the %appdata%\Soraco\Quick License Manager\profiles.xml file in a text editor (this step is not needed if you're running the latest version of QLM)
Locate the entries productsFile, queriesFile and emailTemplatesFolder
If the path is hardcoded for a specific user, update the path based on the new system's path
For example, if your user account on the old system was called "tom" if you see a path that looks like: "c:\users\tom\AppData\Roaming\Soraco\Quick License Manager\..." and your new user account is "tommy", you should update the path to be "c:\users\tommy\AppData\Roaming\Soraco\Quick License Manager\..."

On the new system, go to the following folder in Windows Explorer: %localappdata%\Soraco_Technologies_Inc\IsQuickLicenseMgr*_StrongName_<xxx>\w.x.y.z
Copy the backed-up user.config file to the folder above.
