Hi Peta Sounds like a few issues going on there. For the Epson one, it may pay to remove the printer and reset it up then see how it goes.
For the Adobe software you can deactivate it on the old machine which then allows you to active it on the new machine. Other programs can be similar. Hope that helps.
