It runs proprietary software and would cost me a medium fortune to replace.

that sounds like a really good reason to replace that software - but there is not enough info here to understand the problem

is it locked to the machine by some license and if so, can you not bug the company to transfer the license?

if they won't let you do that then you are very fucked if anything happens with/to them and should be migrating off asap
