Multiple Computer Installation Rob Hansen 02-24-2007

 I just upgraded to 2007 premier from 2004 deluxe. I've been able to do my
work on my desktop where I did the update and still use the files on my
laptop, but of course since I upgraded the laptop cannot recognize the new
converted files. Do I have to purchase the Quicken 2007 again in order to
allow me to work on my laptop, or can I just install the new CD and not
register it? Can I use the same unlock code on the laptop that was provided
for my desktop computer? I also have 2004 installed on my office computer
and I can back-up my work onto a flash drive and restore it to my desktop at
home. Will I still be able to do this or do I have to pay for the upgrade
on every computer I own? Thanks.

 I do this exact situation all of the time and I upgrade every year. The
software doesn't work until you register. It's just a lame thing it forces
you to do but use the same account info if you want to do udpates. As far
as I know there is no unlock codes for 2007. I'm using 2007 Premier and
haven't had an issue with unlock codes causing me troubles on more than one
computer.

You can easily skip registration. From
http://www.quickenforums.com/thread.jspa?forumID=1003&threadID=600000237&messageID=500001772&start=-1#500001772

"With the Quicken program open, hold down the Ctrl + Shift keys on the
keyboard, and go to the Online menu. From the Online menu choose One
Step Update. After selecting One Step Update, with Ctrl + Shift still
held down, you will receive a message that states, "You will no longer
be prompted for registration." At this point registration is disabled
and you will not receive any further messages regarding it."

This was written for Quicken 2002-2005, but also works on 2006.

Scott, so I take it that you purchase a copy of the software for each
computer you have it on, or do you use the same unlock code for your other
computers?
