Hi!
Is there an easy way to migrate settings / macros / license info to a new PC (XP->Win7) ?

TIA, ThomasZ

For settings, you can simply export your VA and IDE settings on the old machine, and import them on the new machine.

VA Options -> Performance -> Export Settings
IDE tools menu -> Import and Export Settings -> Export selected environment settings

Macros, it depends on what you mean. There are VA Snippets, which are just text files, so you can simply copy these across. These live in the directory:

%APPDATA%\\VisualAssist\\Autotext\
if you mean IDE macros then you need to export these from the IDE macro editor and import them on the new machine.

The VA license needs to be re-entered from your records. You just need your license key information, and your previous license key if you have an upgrade license. You cannot export this from your current machine. In terms of moving VA to the new machine, you just need to uninstall VA from the old machine and install it on the new machine.
