Don't read too much into it. If you migrate the application from one computer to another, you just need to remove the program from the old system.
Now, in your case, I would just migrate it. The XP systems will go away, eventually. Why can't you setup a Virtual Desktop, load XP in it and then do the migration from Pick Me App? That way, you can still run it on the Windows 7 system, at least till you can find a way to install it directly in Windows 7.
