    Hi Alex

    The Reckon "Families" are:
    • Easy Start
    • Accounts/Small Business
    • Plus/Pro/Premier
    • Enterprise
    You can move up to the next level, but cannot go down a level. 

    You will need to open this file with Reckon Accounts Plus or above.
    • If you still have access to your old laptop, open Reckon and print out the Help > My Licence Information Screen.
    • Uninstall Reckon Accounts Small Business Edition
    • Install Reckon Accounts Plus.  You can use the program you downloaded, but install with the Installation Key Code from Plus (Help > My Licence Info screen 
    You should be able to restore your file and start working on it.
