IF it's from the App Store and both computers use the same Apple ID, you can just download it to the other computer from the purchased section of the App Store.

You can create a disk image from the installer DVD on your old mac and then transfer this installer disk image on a thumbs drive or over the network.

Or enable DVD/CD sharing in the System Preferences > Sharing panel on the old Mac that has a DVD drive and install by using the drive on the other MAC.
See this support document: Use the CD or DVD drive from another computer with your Mac - Apple Support
