Hi! Last year I put Proseries Professoinal 2020 onto my old laptop and my new laptop. I transferred 2019 onto both of my Laptops. I only used my new laptop to enter all of my 2020 clients. This year I want to be able to use both laptops because I have a part-time person for data entry. I have been trying to figure out how to Enter my 2020 data from my new computer to my old one that I had transferred my 2019 data. So Far I have not been able to replace the 2019 data with the 2020 data on my old laptop. I wanted to do this before installing 2021 onto my old laptop. Thanks for any suggestions!

If you are using two computers don't you need the Network version?

(I'm asking as I am only a single user person, and have never tried to load it on multiple machines.)

Hi Jeff, No I am not a network user. I have the program on my two computers mainly as a backup. My data entry person is not a tax practitioner but just data entry, ie: the data off of w-2's.... We just enter data by hand.

Hi Terry, I did Transfer all of the 2020 data from my new computer to a flash drive, but I guess that my problem is that I could not figure out how to restore them from the flash drive onto my old computer. I thought that maybe since I had previously transferred 2019 data into the old computer it was blocking me from restoring with the 2020 data. I did put the 2020 data into the ProWin20/20data file from the flash drive into the old computer. You are helping me to sort this out and I thank you. When I went onto the program I went to transfer data but it wouldn't let me put in the 2020.
