Go back to providing one software to download for unlimited 1040 & 4 states w/businesses. Downloading multiple software utilizes more CPU/memory. With today's technology, certain access can be restricted within the software which is how it was previously. I'm not sure why you switched to separate software. It's been a pain ever since.
As far as I know, Basic has ALWAYS been a separate program.
If you has previously use the same program, I suspect that you previously used Professional for 1040s, not Basic.
It's not merely "access", it is functionality. Basic has very different navigation and functions than Professional.
As a side note, unless you are using both programs at the same time, downloading two programs does not use more CPU power or more RAM. It does take up a little more hard drive space, but hard drive space is usually very abundant.
