Select it in Bluetooth system preference on the old Mac, click the gear and select Disconnect. Then try it with the new Mac.

You shouldn't have any issues if you delete the trackpad from the original system in System Preferences > Bluetooth > highlight the trackpad and click the "-" icon below.

Then go to the new system and pair it in Bluetooth preferences.
