Quickbooks Desktop License Transfer

Good afternoon,

So, I tried migrating the license as per your instructions.  However, the option "Move Quickbooks to another computer" is not available.  Do you have any suggestions on how to resolve this or a work around?  I have already created a backup.  Just need to know where to go from here.

Welcome to the QuickBooks Community, stytch626. Thank you for sharing that screenshot!  Could you verify if you are logged in as the primary admin? This could be hindering the transfer. 

 

I am looking forward to your reply! See you in a few.

You need to reinstall your QB Desktop 2023 Premier Plus to a new notebook, correct?

You just need to uninstall QB on your old notebook and reinstall it on the new notebook.

So just uninstall on the old computer & reinstall on the new one, will transfer the license to the new one for use?

Once the installation is complete, your QB program will try to reactivate your license automatically.
