QuickBooks requires users to register their software within 30 days of. Replace '000-000' in the second line of code with your QuickBooks installation product number. In the third line of code with your QuickBooks license number.

Did you just get yourself a shiny new computer? Or maybe you need to get QuickBooks onto your laptop so you can get caught up on your bookkeeping? If you need to get QuickBooks from one computer to another, it’s not a big deal. Here’s what you do: 1. Computer #2: Install QuickBooks (you’ll need your original install disk or downloaded install file, plus your installation codes that came with the software.) 2. Computer #2: Update QuickBooks: Run QuickBooks and click on Help / Update QuickBooks. That way, you’ll have the same QuickBooks updates on computer #2 that are on computer #1.

Computer #1: Backup your company data. You can back it up to any medium that will be accessible to computer #2. That would normally include CDs, USB/flash drives, external hard drives, or online storage services (like.) The smallest backup you can make is a Portable file.

This kind of backup is only about 20-25% the size of your regular QBW company file, yet it contains all your data. (The backup excludes the internal indexing in the file – that’s why it’s both smaller and takes longer to make and restore.) 4. If you made a backup to a physical backup drive, take it to computer #2 and plug it in or insert it. If your backup is online somewhere, download it to computer #2’s hard drive or desktop.

Computer #2: Run QuickBooks, and at the opening dialog box select “Open or restore an existing company”, and then “Restore a portable file” (or “Restore a backup copy” if you are bringing over a regular backup copy from computer #1.) 6. Computer #2: Navigate to the drive and folder where your backup is, and select the backup file. Computer #2: Specify where you want the file to be restored to.

You can accept the default that QuickBooks suggests, or point to a particular folder that makes sense to you. My Documents is not a bad choice. Computer #2: Finish the restore. Once your data is restored, everything should be set up for you to work in QuickBooks on your new computer. If you need to take your company file back to computer #1, simply reverse the process for steps #3-8. What’s your favorite way to move QuickBooks data between computers? Hello Dora, Several issues here * I don’t see how the QB 2006 program (and the lack of codes) matters in any of this since you don’t want to use that program.

* You can install QB 2011 on your new computer, and then try to restore your backup (made with QB 2006?). QB 2011 will try to upgrade the data to QB 2011 when you restore it. If the upgrade fails, we might be able to do it for you.

* Before you try the upgrade yourself, you should copy the backup file from your USB stick to your Windows Desktop, and try to restore the file from the Windows Desktop. Fade in professional screenwriting software crack free. That will increase the chance of success, compared to restoring directly from the USB stick. * If you install QB 2011 on a Windows 10 computer, there will be problems, because QB 2011 is not fully compatible with Windows 10. So if you have a Windows 10 computer, you might want to be using a more current version of QuickBooks. See Sorry no simple answer to everything here.

Thanks for your question. Adobe illustrator cs3 indowebster idm. Hi Shannon, I have a QB99 on an old XP. I want to transfer it to my “new” XP.

I have installed it with the original software disc, and used the Key Code from that disc. Restored the files. Everything looks good.

But it’s on a 25 day trial mode and it’s prompting me to register. However, when I look at the numbers it’s giving me to register with, the Key Code is showing different from what I have on the original jacket and which I used in the setup process. How can that be??? When I look at “About QuickBooks” in the old computer, it carries the original Key Code.

Will I be OK registering with this new Key Code? Thanks in advance, Stephanie •. Hi Stephanie, Honestly I can’t remember for sure how QB99 did it, but in versions for the last 10 years or so, the registration process doesn’t want your key code. In fact, “key code” hasn’t been a thing in QuickBooks installation or registration for a long time. Back in the bad old days, most of the time you’d have to register QuickBooks by phone, which was not very fun. If you have a key code you snagged from the screen on your old computer, try it and see!
