Like the warning message states, the report is not compatible. You cannot restore a report from an older version to a newer version, only the same version.

If you can access the HD from the old pc just copy the entire CNCM directory to a thumb drive and then copy it to the new PC. This will get you up and running with your old setup and then you can create screen shots of the wizard setting and manually upgrade to 5.3.

and alternatively you can install v4.82 and then use restore report (if you can't copy the entire cncm directory from the old computer to the new one.
old version of CNC12 download is on the same download page that you got v5.30 from.
