Password to restore Money?????

#1 09-06-2007, 03:09 PM

I did re-download it on my desktop (I purchased it online it was a Digital
River download.) it says that I have installed in on too many computers. It
check online for the key. I have the email DR and it doesn't have a Key code
in it. I tried installing it again and gives me 3 choices One to purchase,
one to enter my key and right now I can't remember the third. I am not where
my desktop. I am so frustrated.

I guess I will contact DR to get the key. I don't know why it wasn't in the
email and don't remember how I activated it when I purchased and downloaded
it.

Money 2003 cannot use a Money 2007 file or backup. Money is not
downward-compatible.

If you have a retail CD or retail download, you can install Money
2007 on the desktop and laptop computers.

I have to send my notebook in for repairs. Since I don't know how long it
will be gone I am trying to get the programs
I use daily to work on my desktop. I installed an older copy of MSMoney
(2003) on my desktop. I use 2007 on my laptop and my backup file is from
Money2007. I can't install 2007 on my desktop due to some kind of licensing
thing and will have to probably get a new license code to reinstall it on my
laptop when I get it back (ya HP will be restoring my notebook back to
'original' configuration during repair) Anyway, when I select the restore
feature and I point it towards the DVD in which the backup is burned to, it
asks me to type in my current password for the backup file. So I type in the
only password I know of that I use in Money and that is the one I log in to
the program with. Well apparently that is not it. It wont restore without a
password and I have NO IDEA what that password is. I don't recall Money2007
having me establish a password for backup files. I have only used one
password in that program. HELP! I need to make sure I have my Money program
working on my desktop while my laptop is being fixed. How can I get it
running with my current backup file and up to date information?
