Quickbooks Multi User Install A Single

Two questions for you power users out there: 1) Is there a limit to the number of computers you can install a single user license on (e.g.

If you purchase a multi-user license, is the cost incremental e.g.

I thought that previously single user was one at a time and multi-user allowed up to 5, but their customer service department has provided different info.

Quickbooks Multi User Upgrade To 2011

But, at this point, it would probably be better to upgrade to 2011 and put on the number of users you need.

C. When I had my Bookkeeping Service, I was steering my clients to the online QB.

I even put a non-profit, that I volunteer at online and it works pretty good for their needs.

You are not stating which version your client is using, Pro, Premiere, etc.

If your client has 2 licenses they should be able to have two instantaneous users using QB.

Just from what I am reading here you should be able to install QB on the server and on two additional computers and two users can use it from any of the three computers.

Lots of benefits but the drawback is you are limited to ONE entity.

Those are not consolidated, if thats what you are referring to.

Just FYI, QB online has less functionality than Pro and Premier version.

Anna.

Better to ask users than get confused about what the materials say.

QB Online is not for a power user or for a business that is complex.

Personally, I have never recommended QB Online as the appropriate software solution.

NOT a fan of the cloud in general, dont like limitations and I certainly dont like down time.

You are better off purchasing more users than going online in most cases.

Multi-user functionality happens when you combine a multi-user license key with the use of the QB database manager.

If you have two licenses of QB, you can combine them into a 2-user key, and then the DB manager will allow two users in the same data file at the same time.

If you have one person using a machine, then a single license is OK.

However, if you have one person use QB on that computer in the a.m., and then another person using QB on that computer in the p.m., then youre technically supposed to have 2 licenses - one for each person using the PC.

The software will technically allow you to install it on as many computers as you like, but thats in violation of the EULA.

And, having a multi-user license doesnt guarantee you multi-user access to a data file unless you have a DB manager running.
