If you bought Money 2006 at retail, the license permits you to
install it on the desktop and the laptop. If you bought the disk,
just install. Below I have added some Vista considerations.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/889930/ should have some info. If
you can download the trial, note where it says
==================================================
If you have to reinstall Money 2006 by using the following MSN Web
site, you must change the date [on your computer] to 12/31/2006:
https://billing.msn.com
================================================== =============

So then you can create an empty file and put the same LiveID that
you used when you bought Money. Money should then convert from the
Trial to the regular version.

===============Vista considerations==============================

Be sure that your Money and backup files are moved to a spot that
you will have full privileges to, such as Documents/MyDocuments.
If they are in a place like ProgramFiles, Vista will create an
impermanent copy of the file for the user to use, unless the user
explicitly right-clicks at launch and choose RunAsAdministrator
that time.

Right-click the Money icon and choose RunAsAdministrator to let
updates happen. Then reboot the computer.

Also change your backup path from
"C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\" to
"C:\Users\username\Documents\"

The retail licenses--you said Premium so I'm assuming--allow installation on
both a desktop and a laptop machine. That's not to say that they solve
problems assoicated with moving the file back and forth. M06 should work fine
with Vista. Do you have the installation CD?
