Should my two computer systems be running the same version of Quicken?

I run a desktop system and a laptop system with Quicken Windows subscription installed on both. I do not use any cloud storage or sync. I manually copy the local data file back and forth between the two systems daily so that I'm always working with the latest data file on each system.

My desktop system is running R49.22 for about a week. My laptop was running R48.15 during the same time. When I had the laptop version check for new updates, it said I already had the latest. Today, I ran the check again and it updated to R48.18.

I'm puzzled by two systems running the same local data file running two different versions of Quicken? I guess it's not a problem, but I'm curious.

    R49.22 was a Staged Release. Not everyone has received it YET.

    R48.18 is a General Release that's offered to all.

    That you have both really doesn't matter. R49.22 will go to General Release in the near future

    Thanks, I tried that earlier this week. It caused a backup issue that I had to resolve by completely uninstalling Q and reinstalling.

    Don't even want to get into that discussion…
