I transferred a CBHC WiiU console with some failed hardware (the rear USB ports) to virgin WiiU and did all the recommended steps (i.e. uninstall CBHC first). Now the transfers' complete, and the replacement console has fresh CBHC on redownloaded DS VC game with same NNID, but I can't access the WUP Installer-installed games on original console's USB drive. I repeatedly get error with launching every title: "This software cannot be used. The NNID used to purchase the software has been deleted." Followed by screens asking whether I'd like to repurchase the titles on eShop or delete them in Data Management. I don't know what's going on: Should I have copied over the original console's CBHC title's save files (the User and Shared/Common save data) to the replacement console's CBHC title? I didn't backup those files before the transfer so there's no recovering them. Or would that risk damaging the replacement console's CBHC installation? I'm mostly trying to figure out what I messed up so that I and others here don't have to repeat this mistake. Thanks!

afaik, transferring content for any nintendo console removes the content from the source system.
Yes, the source console's NAND was wiped as expected and the USB drive formerly attached to the source console does work with the target console EXCEPT the issue mentioned above about the WUP Installed title's not launching even though they're all present and accounted for on the HDD.

I think you have to reinstall them. afaik, fake tickets do not transfer.
Alright. So, do you also think copying over the source console's CBHC save files to target console's CBHC installation wouldn't have helped me prevent all this redo work. Thanks!

you might be able to grab your tickets. I don't know if they'll work, but they're located here:

storage_slc/rights/tickets/apps

Do you know of an app that modifies and applies tickets to a second console as easily as tik2sd grabs them from first? Thanks!

I know of nothing. I don't even know if it works. it won't hurt the system if they don't work as you could technically delete all tickets in that folder except the cbhc one, and the only thing that would happen is games would no longer launch. be careful or search for where the cbhc ticket is.
