I bought 2 versions and my computer keeps installing basic instead of the "Home and business" version

I purchased a basic version of Turbo Tax for my husband's taxes and a "home and business" for me because I have a home-based business. I installed basic and now it won't let me install the other. I've tried uninstalling, but then when I click on link to the business one, it just re-installs basic. It's so frustrating!

You can't have two versions of TurboTax CD/Download installed on the same computer for the same year at the same time. You can install one, then when you are finished all the returns that come with it, you can select Tools> Licence Code Switch from the top menu. This will allow you to enter a second code. Please make sure to save any open returns, as the program will restart.

Will you still be able to Netfile 20 returns with the one license and then when you switch license codes, Netfile the available number of returns on the additional license code you've purchased?

@rempsy You are limited to NETFILEing 20 returns by the CRA, no matter how many returns you buy in TurboTax.
