Before buying a second Premier CD for another Family Member that was going to be installed on a Family Computer I Googled whether it was Possible /Allowed  saw a note that yes I could.  Now with the new CD in drive, seems as if not possible .  

 

Can you actually install a second Premier CD on computer?  

 

Guess I could uninstall old CD and replace with 2nd CD license.  

 

Anyone else have success or answer??

 

Thanks all

    Why do you need a second program on the same computer?  The Desktop program can prepare unlimited returns and efile 5 for free.  And you can use any version.  All the desktop programs have the same forms.  You just get more held in the higher versions.

     

    But you can activate a second program.   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.

    Another family member doing returns over initial 5.  Family getting larger 10/11 returns annually.

     

    Nieces and nephews purchase a second TT and file their five.  One of nieces and nephews are the new registered party.

    No. Even if you could you can not e-file more than 5 1040's

    using a second computer with a unique user, it might be possible.
