Currently running mm 2006 premium on desktop running xp. with purchase of
laptop want to transfer license. laptop running vista home premium. I expect
I'll need a vista compatible version for the laptop. how do I get it?

The retail licenses--you said Premium so I'm assuming--allow installation on
both a desktop and a laptop machine. That's not to say that they solve
problems assoicated with moving the file back and forth. M06 should work fine
with Vista. Do you have the installation CD?

If you bought Money 2006 at retail, the license permits you to
install it on the desktop and the laptop. If you bought the disk,
just install. Below I have added some Vista considerations.


http://support.microsoft.com/kb/889930/ should have some info. If
you can download the trial, note where it says
==================================================
If you have to reinstall Money 2006 by using the following MSN Web
site, you must change the date [on your computer] to 12/31/2006:
https://billing.msn.com
================================================== =============

So then you can create an empty file and put the same LiveID that
you used when you bought Money. Money should then convert from the
Trial to the regular version.

===============Vista considerations==============================

Be sure that your Money and backup files are moved to a spot that
you will have full privileges to, such as Documents/MyDocuments.
If they are in a place like ProgramFiles, Vista will create an
impermanent copy of the file for the user to use, unless the user
explicitly right-clicks at launch and choose RunAsAdministrator
that time.

Right-click the Money icon and choose RunAsAdministrator to let
updates happen. Then reboot the computer.

Also change your backup path from
"C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\" to
"C:\Users\username\Documents\"
