Yes. You first need to install a little package called EEunprotect:

Thsi will allow you to move "copy-protected" packages. After you install
it, just try moving them again and it will now work.

To force a package to install onto a card, you must have the "Save all new
data and packages onto this card" checkbox checked in the Card's slip
(shown when you insert the card, or launch the slip from Extras). This
won't change its copy-protection status, though.

If you have packages on the desktop that install copy-protected, you can
use NewtPackageFlags (for PC) or ??? (for Mac) to change its flags,
including the copy-protection bit:

Typically, such packages will not allow themselves to be installed on a
card (if they were programmed to check).
