I need to create new machine and install Visual studio 2013 there, id like to extract the key from the first machine and use the key on the new machine. ive been reading some info about this which didnt get me too far, is there actual way to do that?

Look in the registry under key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\VERSION\Registration\SOMETHING.

The key should be located inside the value named PIDKEY or ProductID.
