How to move Trados 2021 to a new computer from an old computer?

Question

SDL Trados Studio 2021 is installed on my old computer.
By the way, my old computer has not been working properly these days, and I got a new laptop.
What should I do to use Trados 2021 on a new computer?
Can someone give me step-by-step instructions on what to be done?
Thank you.

Hi If you can still launch Studio on your old PC, do this and return the license by going to "help - Product Activation", Click on "Deactivate". 
 Then, log in to your RWS customer account, go to "Licenses". You will see that your Studio license shows as "available". Copy the activation code. Launch Studio on your new computer, click on "Activate" and copy-psate the activation code you just copied from your account. That's it. 
 If you cannot go back to your old PC, follow the instructions in this KB article: Self-Reset Single User licenses -Trados Studio Freelance and Professional versions (sdl.com) Good luck. Walter

Hi, Walter. 
 Thank you so much for the details. 
 Fortunately, I can still launch Studio on my old PC. 
 I will check it out once I finish my current task on my old PC. :-) 
 I will let you know how it goes. 
 Again, thank you.
