So I tried to copy the entire Lacerte directory off my office PC to a thumb drive, then copied it to my home computer. I do have some glitches.  It comes up with import feature not available, and when I check for updates, it says there are none when I know that there are.  That's for the more current years.  The 2015 year will not run at all.

I was going to try and reinstall each year hoping that will cure the flaws without disturbing the tax data files.

If it works, I'll let you know.  If anyone is aware of any fatal flaws in this approach, please let me know.

Thanks.
