Missing Uninstall file

I have Reckon Accounts Personal Plus 2015 on one computer and wish to move it to a new computer. I have been told that I need to uninstall the file but when I click on the uninstall icon in the Control Panel/Programs and Feature (W10) it gives the error that it can't find the uninstall file. It is looking for the uninstall file on a CD which I no longer have.

How do I proceed to to uninstall the program in a way that will give me the ability to install it on a new computer. I have tried but the new computer gives the error that the program has previously been installed on another computer.

    Reckon Accounts 2015 or Personal 2015?

    You could use revo uninstaller to get rid of the full install. I think there's a guide here on the community about performing a "clean" uninstall

    I do have a copy of a new install exe program which I was going to use on my new computer. I am not wanting to "reinstall" using this exe on the old machine in case I loose all access to the program. It does still run on the old computer but I no longer use that computer.

    My thought here is that maybe it will install the ability to uninstall but maybe it will just corrupt the version I have.

    Yes, I downloaded the exe from the members site:

    I also have the Installation code, cut off here for security (same as previously installed version)
