Hi I am a new naive PDA user and I am wondering if it is fairly simple to move the program from one PDA to another (same owner). I am in a situation where I have a PDA however I am contemplating selling it and buying a different one at some point. Would I need to have both PDA's present to make the switch (that is would I be able to sell the original and later buy a new one and put that software on it)

I asked a similar question when I sold my old Treo 600 and replaced it with a Treo 650.
The answer to your question can be found here:

In regards to your question, you don't need to have both PDA's present in order to make the switch however, it does help in case you make a mistake (during the upgrade process) or in case you run into problems. Once you perform a hard reset on your old PDA and sell it, it is obviously too late.
This goes without saying but both your old PDA and your new PDA must be running the same OS platform. By this, I mean both PDAs must be running PalmOS or both PDAs must be running the Windows OS (whatever it is called for the PDA platform). You can't perform this switch if your PDAs are running different OS platforms.
If your PDAs are running different OS platforms, you must purchase/do a license transfer. Information about that can be found in this thread:
