Hello Tracy Zhu , 
 
If you still have access to your 'old' PC, simply start Studio- go to the HELP tab- License activation- deactivate license. 
Now access your SDL account from your 'new' machine- download and install the software via your account/downloads. 
Once you have installed the software on the new machine and are prompted to activate- simply copy the license code (licenses section) and paste into Studio. 
Now you will have Studio on your new machine. 
 
Do not forget, that you will also need to transfer all your TM's' etc. from your old machine to your new one as nothi9ng is actually saved in Studio itself. 
 
Let me know if you need more help.

In addition to Steve's advice, you might be interested to read this blog post on installing Studio on a new computer. I wrote it in 2014, but updated last week when I went through the same process.

Thanks Emma Goldsmith - 
Really nice article. Absolutely love the 'licensing conflict' workaround.
