Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Yes I did.  

Has anyone who saved the .exe to an external device been able to reinstall it using that device?

I have 2 different computers that I use at any time so need to install it on both. This has never been an issue before.

And I have an external drive because I prefer to load software from a CD rather than download since there are always issues. I work as a developer and know the issues with downloaded software.

Seems this is just another way to increase profits and screw the customers.  Since no longer providing a CD it should cost less.
