The issue you have is that the lock file is encrypted using your machine-id. It is a feature more than a bug. I have not tried the export/import function mentioned in the referenced ticket.

Exactly @thoroc, the idea is to allow the user to specify a password (retained in the keychain) that will be used by Leapp to encrypt and decrypt the configuration file; in this way, the configuration becomes portable.
