Among the files stored on each control computer is the "license.dat" file, which unlocks the software, at whatever level was purchased, for the particular control board (Allin1DC, Oak, etc.) that is connected.
If you connect the control computer from one control, to a different control, the license keys will not match the connected control board, and it will revert to the trial/demo or "free" software level.
In general, if you are going to move the control computer from machine 'A' to machine 'B', you need to:
1) Pull a report from machine 'B'
2) Connect computer 'A' to machine 'B' and start it up
3) Restore the report you saved from machine 'B' onto the computer 'A' that you just connected to machine 'B'.
The report will carry with it the "license.dat" file, as well as all the other machine-specific settings.
