Beth, No problem. I actually have had the last several versions on three machines and all registered. Desktop, laptop, and my mother-in-law's for when I am at her house. And as you say, only use one at a time. Jay Thompson just an old genealogy nut too tough to crack.

I plan to upgrade to 2014 in a few months, but don't want to learn a new program as I am now learning so many new and upgraded programs on the new machine.
