Hello:

I assume you mean transfer the program itself?

To install it on your laptop, you would need the original program CD.

Depending upon the licensing agreement with the program, it may be "single seat" meaning that you can only have it installed on one machine. If that's the case, you cannot legally have it installed on both your desktop and your laptop.

You need the install disk, you can't copy it over.

When you say you believe the Microsoft Office Software can "seat" (as per the Software License) up to 3 computers, you have to realise that this means you can install it on up to 3 computers via the Microsoft Office installation disc. You need to hunt down your disc to install the software on your MacBook.
