This error message occurs when your internet/networks security settings are set to high and typically occurs if you are connecting from a business/work network.
To fix this, you can:

What is the purpose of the red and blue lines?

This is possible but the chances of a software conflict may occur. To do so, download and install Photobook Designer on the 2nd computer and create a project file with the same name and book type. Save the project and then copy a folder called Photobook Designer Projects from the first computer and overwrite this folder on the new computer. Then, copy the folder of images to the new computer. When you open the the new project file, the photobook software will ask you to link the images to the software again as the location of the image files has changed.
