Sorry that won’t work. Buying another program won’t get you another free state. So you didn’t need to buy 2 programs at all. Even if you install it on a different computer it probably keeps track in your account. I would try to get a refund for the second program.
There is a way to have 2 licenses. Under Help - Switch Product - Activate new product. Don't know what that will do or what benefit you will get. Don't think it will allow you to efile more than 5 or download another free state.
It’s showing California installed because you installed it. It’s not specific to which return you are doing.
