Most Win-Test settings are kept in WT.INI, but you will still have to
register the new machine (which is free).  Generally speaking, it is NOT a
good idea. to copy WT.INI from one machine to the other, because that forces
re-registration.  But in this case, it may be what you need to do.

For more info, see the 3rd question in the Win-Test
FAQ<http://www.win-test.com/rubrique.php3?id_rubrique=1690>,
and following the link to the registration page.

In sum:

   1. Install a fresh copy of Win-Test on the new machine
   2. Copy WT.INI from the old machine to the new machine
   3. Run Win-Test on the new machine and select Help, Register software
   4. Go to the Register
Win-Test<http://www.win-test.com/rubrique.php3?id_rubrique=1870> web
   page and follow the instructions
   5. Your registration key for the new machine will be sent to the email
   address you specified when you bought your first Win-Test license
   6. Paste new registration key into the Register software page and press
   [OK]
