To move the game license, simply go to the web store and release the license then install the game on the new computer and add in the license.
For data: Get a thumb drive (usb drive) and copy the data from the old computer to the new one. Then when you go to set up the game, import data for the universe(s) you wish to import, one at a time.

Assuming you have TB2013 and you have not customised your game data do this:
* start the old game, go to options and release your licences. If your old computer is unable to start TB any more use the online release Infinity mentioned.
* log into your webstore account and make sure you have the latest version downloaded
* install TB on your new PC
* start and quit TB (initialises the data, no need to start a new game)
* copy "My Documents/tb2013/saved_games" to the same place on your new PC
* start up TB again and you should see your saved games.
You should now be up and running on your new PC
