    The minimum you need to do for the old machine is to deactivate the programs (Help -> Deactivate).  After that you can uninstall them if you want/need the extra space (Never hurts to have a backup - you are allowed to have two activated installations)

    If you downloaded the programs originally, then you will need to download and install them again on the newer machine.  Check your Adobe account online for links to download.  If you do not find any, then where you need to go to download can depend on which versions of the programs you have. 

    One site that has most programs accessible for download as trial versions is http://prodesigntools.com/tag/ddl.  You can use the serial numbers from your original purchases to activate the trials to full use.  You need to carefully follow the instructions at this site for the downloads to work.

    Adobe also has links to trial version for their CS6 products:
