Accessing State Tax Software

I purchased Turbo Tax Premier and loaded it onto my desktop and I purchased Turbo Tax Deluxe and loaded it onto my laptop.  I prepare returns for multiple family members. I downloaded my one free state software (Oregon) on my desktop and have already filed two returns, both federal and Oregon.  On my laptop I downloaded my one free state software (Montana) and have filed one return.  

 

I am now attempting to file a third return on my desktop using the Oregon software, but I am being asked to pay the $40 fee to download the software even though I already downloaded it for my one free state software. I get the message that I can download the Montana software for free even though that was under a different version of the Turbo Tax software, the Deluxe version.

 

Shouldn't I be able to prepare an unlimited number of state returns with each version of the software once I have downloaded my one free version?  I am not talking about filing the returns, but simply preparing them.
