New harddrive , new install needed foor CC

[Uncle98C6]

My harddisk ( SSD M2) was full, so I replaced it for a bigger one, using Samsung data transfer. All programm work except all Adobe stuff. If should be installed new, but that means that all my work in LightRoom ( the database) is lost...

I know it will be a software trick to protect illegal copying, but this is redicoulus. 

Any change to safe it?

Why do you say your Lightroom database would be lost? Have you tried it? For sure, you must install new. All settings should be picked up if you've fully migrated system, files and registry, it seems to me.

I did, but the first screen was the one to really start from scratch: "Add pictures"
