Move UltraTax CS with PRP licensing from SaaS to a local or network installation

If your firm currently runs UltraTax CS in the SaaS environment and is preparing to move to a local or a network installation of UltraTax CS with per-return-pricing (PRP) licensing, we strongly recommend you create PDF files of all returns that your firm filed while running UltraTax CS in the SaaS environment. Staff can then refer to these PDF files rather than opening the returns in prior years of UltraTax CS and incurring a PRP fee for each return they view.
Follow these steps to create PDFs of returns.
  1. Create a folder for each tax year you're creating PDFs of tax returns for:
    1. Double-click

      ,
      New

      UTYYreturns
       (YY is the tax year).
