Are you looking for an easy way out to install multiple QuickBooks Desktop versions on one computer but are unable to find it? If yes, then this article will aid you through an easy walkthrough to get multiple QuickBooks Desktop versions installed on one computer. So, without any adieu, let us embark with the process.
Important Points to note
• QuickBooks Desktop allows you to work with multiple versions simultaneously. For instance, while using Premier 2019, you can also open Premier 2018. However, if you're using the Accountant edition, you can only open the same version (year) of Premier and Enterprise.
• QuickBooks Desktop Pro and Premier share the same installation files. Consequently, you cannot install the same version (year) of Pro and Premier on the same computer. However, you can install different versions such as Pro 2018 and Premier 2019.
• You can install the same version of QuickBooks Desktop Pro or Premier alongside Enterprise.
• Each version of QuickBooks Desktop only allows for the installation of one industry-specific edition. This means you can have either QuickBooks Desktop Premier 2018 Retail or Premier 2018 Contractor, but not both.
• QuickBooks Desktop Accountant is itself an industry-specific edition. If you're an accountant, you should use your Accountant edition to switch to any other industry-specific editions of QuickBooks Desktop.
• Mixing and matching different regional versions and editions of QuickBooks is not possible. To accommodate multiple regions on the same computer, you can use a virtual machine or a web hosting service to create separate environments for each region.
• Sharing data or company files between QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise and Pro or Premier is not straightforward.
