Quick Books Premium Edition

Read your licence agreement.

I cannot. I do not have a license to read. Can someone copy and paste one into a message here?

Search for it in the Help Index, it should be in there.

From the license agreement included in the 2003 contractor edition I use " Single-User Version If you purchased a full, single-user version of the Software, you are granted a limited non-exclusive license to use a copy of the enclosed Software on the computer(s) used by a single individual. You may make one (1) backup copy of the Software for your own use. You may not copy the printed materials accompanying the Software if any, or print multiple copies of any user documentation. Registration of the Software with Intuit after approximately 15 uses and in accordance with Intuit's then-current privacy policies is required."

In otherwords, yes, you may run the copy on your laptop AND on your desktop. Don't expect QB to be able to update the files tho - you must backup the file from the laptop, restore to the desktop and vice-versa to keep in synch. Either that, or use a 3rd party synchronization program.
