I’m sorry but if someone could be advise where to find this information I would appreciate it.

I appear to have copied the program to a USB and I copied the last backup to my MacBook but I can’t get them to sync so I can’t use my program. Any help appreciated - thank you Robyn

RootsMagic should be installed on each computer.  
You can have your data on a usb and plug into the other computer.

I’m not clear on what you mean by “copied the program to a usb”. Do you mean RootsMagic-To-Go?

Apology goes for the delay in my response - technical issues!

Thanks for your advice. I realised I did in fact have the program on my laptop. I then managed to find my backup file - so all good.

Thanks again.
