Dear Detlef,
I'm afraid that's not exactly possible like that. A probe itself has no configuration, it gets told what to monitor by the core server. So in essence, if you want to install PRTG now on a different machine, you would have to copy the existing configuration from the current machine to the new one. Then, uninstall PRTG from the old machine, and install a remote probe there. And then, once PRTG is running, connect the remote probe and move the groups & devices from the Local Probe to it.
best Regards.
