AccountRight Standard 2019.4.0 - Moving a file from an old laptop to a new one

Question

We currently have&nbsp;AccountRight Standard 2019.4.0 on an old laptop and want to move to a new laptop so we can format &amp; throw (recycle) the old laptop.&nbsp;We have installed the same version of AccountRight Standard on the new laptop, but when trying to open the file we get&nbsp;"maximum number of company files activated".&nbsp;What do we need to do on the old laptop to "release" the file so it can be opened on the new laptop?

Hi&nbsp;callwas&nbsp;&nbsp;It seems you are trying to Activate an un-activated file - which means you are probably opeing up the wrong file. I suggest you either copy the existing file from the original laptop to the Library on the new Laptop, or make a backup on the old laptop and restore on the new laptop.&nbsp; And when first opening the file, don't use the recently opened shortcut, click Open to ensure you are opening the correct file.&nbsp;RegardsGavin
