Now I reach another problem: the USB-drives of the old computer seem to be not working: a hardware problem. So I cannot copy the wanted file to an USB-stick. The easiest way to obtain the file is via my sister, who lives in the same place as I. What do you think: this will be the right thing to do?
Email it/them to yourself?
Mike's answer is best if you have the authenticity ID

If you saved your documentation and have the authenticity ID from your previous purchase, you should be able to recover your download file online. I assume you visited this page: https://noteworthycomposer.com/faq/100.md

To be honest: the nicest solution would be to obtain the update-files from Noteworthy themselves. But they seem unreachable! They do not answer my questions.

The first 4 I don't think will help at the moment.
BUT, the 5th one: setup_nwc2_nwc175cd exe 13- 05-2009 might be what you need. This is actually a very important file for you if it's what I think it is. You said you've installed V1.75 from CD, I think this one is the upgrade from V1.75 to an early V2. It may ask you to insert the V1.75 CD during the install process for verification purposes.
If I'm correct this will get a V2 copy installed, which should then be upgradeable online to the current version.
After install try to do an online upgrade. (launch NWC2, click Help, then click "Access noteworthycomposer.com"). This should take you a page where you can download an upgrade file to the current V2.75a.2. If this doesn't work try installing each of the files you've found in date order, doing the upgrade check between each one until you find one that the upgrade works from.
Don't install the demo you found, it has limited functionality (though I don't remember what the limitations are).
For information, this: nwc2 exe 01-09-2017 is the actual NWC program itself. You can't simply copy it over as there are essential registry updates that must happen, as well as other ancillary directories and files that must be added.
Thank you for your help. I can find some of the directories and files you mention:
On the old computer I have in the Setups-directory these files: nwcupd_from_v2.5.4 exe 05-04-2014 nwcupd_from_v2.51.0 exe 04-06-2014 nwcupd_from_v2.51.1 exe 02-02-2016 nwcupd_from_v2.75 exe 28- 11-2017 setup_nwc2_nwc175cd exe 13- 05-2009 setup_nwc21_upg exe 30-04-2010 setup_nwc25_upg exe 08-05-2012
In the NoteWorthy Composer 2 directory I have the file nwc2 exe 01-09-2017
The executable setup_nwc275a.exe I cannot find. But there is a file LICENSE.RTF with the USER LICENSE AGREEMENT in it.

Hi, It's not clear if you were using Version 2.x on the old computer.
If you were using version 2, then look under (on the old computer): For 32 bit Windows: "C:\Program Files\Noteworthy Software\NoteWorthy Composer 2\Setups" OR For 64 bit Windows: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Noteworthy Software\NoteWorthy Composer 2\Setups"
You should find an executable file called "setup_nwc275a.exe" or similar - the version part might be different. This file can be used to install NWC2 to your new computer.

Until now I am starting Noteworthy Composer on a small Samsung Notebook. This system is very slow, so I bought a moderner laptop. Now I have installed my 1.75 version from CD on this new laptop. But how I must continue when I want to upgrade? My problem is, that I do not possess a billing card any more! Am I able to pay the new version with Ideal?
