If it's not a single executable then I'd suggest you download it to your USB drive then install it from new on your laptop due to the numerous changes that happen during the install process.

You can't simply copy program folders across, there will be potentially changes to the registry etc. What program is it? You need to "install" the program properly on the laptop unless it is a program that doesn't need installing. If you went through an installation process in the first place on your desktop to get it on then you won't be able to just copy and paste the files.

Exactly. You can technically see what changes an installation makes but what's the point. You may as well get the program again off the internet if possible or use a CD to install it on the laptop.

You can download it from here:

http://www.download.com/Power-CD-G-Burner/3000-2646_4-10363858.html

And according to this site it's saying:

Limitations: No limitations

If this isn't true it's maybe worth contacting them to inquire about moving your license from one PC to another:
