Clicking the 'Advanced" button in the "Manage Users" dialog brings up
the options to export and import user profiles. This makes it possible
to train on one machine and then use that training information on any
other machine running the same version of Dragon.

DNS creates user profiles that are contained in specific folders.
Generally can just copy entire folder from one computer to the next,
although setup generally has to be run for the microphone. Simple
manage users import and export process, assuming compatibility of
version (Professional to Professional, Preferred to Preferred, etc).
Write me off list if you need more specifics.
Best,
Cath
