Quicken 2012 Premiere - Need to move to new laptop

Question

I have a Quicken 2012 Start edition CD. Upgraded to 2012 premiere at some point, without a CD. I need to move 2012 premiere to a new laptop. What is the best way to do this?

Not unless they saved it at the time when they downloaded it.

I tried it anyway and it appears to have worked. Thank you!!!

Is there a way to grab the installation files from the old laptop to be used to install on the new laptop? They must have purchased a downloadable version when then upgraded to premiere. Thank you!
