Migrating to a new computer?

Question

I'm thinking of ditching my 5 year old desktop and getting a laptop. I'm not so concerned about moving my data; I already have it backed up on CDs.
What I'm not sure how to do, and am wondering if anyone has any suggestions, is how to move some of the programs. Specifically:
iTunes
Cucusoft Video Converter and DVD Converter
Zone Alarm Firewall
Norton Anitvirus
One or two other programs that I can't think of at the moment (I'm at work right now).

All the software was purchased via download, so its not so simple to just re-install the software from CD onto the laptop.

Also, I use Zone Alarm to manage lots of passwords, many of which I have long since forgotten. Any way to move that info over as well?

Thanks!
