Backing up Programs

Quick question. I have a computer in for repair (XP Pro) They want this thing formatted (no big deal) however, they need to keep 2 or 3 tax programs that they dont have the disks for.

I know there are a few programs that I can use to transfer the programs to another computer, but I need to backup the programs on an external and reload them on the computer once its formatted.

Besides downloading the .torrents, is there anyway I could do this? I know theres a few programs out there that will do this but not too sure which ones to use.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Legally no. And if you are a business you have to tell them to go pound sand unless they come up with legit install discs and CD Keys.

It is against the law for you as a repair facility to replace any software they do not have CD's or Keys...
