It matters if MS wants it to matter, and that's determined by what the
license says. I haven't read the details because I've only installed
it once, but I think the language supports laptop install for portable
use. It doesn't support multiple installs for one family. As MS does
specifically allow that for products such as OneCare and Office for
Home and Students, I don't think they intend to do that for Money.

Go with Steve's advice about calling MS after uninstalling from the
home PC and attempting to install on the laptop.

When you activate, you give hardware information to Microsoft (e.g. how
much RAM, CPU serial number, hard drive model), and they keep it in their
database to compare against in the future. That's why if you significantly
upgrade your PC, you might have to reactivate.

If you call Microsoft and explain the situation, they will unregister one
of your PCs and allow you to register another. At least that's what they
do with OS registrations. You might have to beg a little. Don't mention
that you were using it improperly. Let them ask if they want.

Just go through the installation procedure. One of the activation options
is to call Microsoft.

Yes, we are using two different data files, but I wouln't think that would
matter since it was bought for one household. If I just uninstall it on my
home pc, will that clear the license?

Don't think so. Also, I think the intent of the allowance for multiple
installs is that it won't be used simultaneously. It sounds to me that
two people are using it simultaneously (or not) on different data
failes.

I just bought money plus and installed it on my pc and my husband's pc. Both
activated fine. However, I will now be going out of town a lot and want to
put money plus on my laptop. Since I can only activate it on 2 systems, how
can I deactivate it on my pc so I can activate it on my laptop instead?
