If you can't find the icon, do a search in Windows for ProSeries Tool Hub and select the program.

Step 2: Use the tools on the ProSeries Tool Hub

With the newest updates, when you first launch the Tool Hub it will run a scan on your computer to help identify any year of ProSeries that is out of date and prompt you to update them. This needs to be done to make sure you have an important security update. Without this update the prior year tax programs will not open. See here for more information about this change. To apply the update select each product under Program and then Update Selected until all years and editions have been updated.
A screen that shows what year of ProSeries you have installed and what versionit is on.

The hub is a launchpad for the tools you’ll use to fix your issue. Each tab has a set of tools for addressing different types of problems:
