QB desktop pro 2020

Is there a way for me to put QB desktop pro 2020 on two separate computers at two separate locations? I would like to do some work from home and I would not be on QB's at the same time on both computers.

Hello, lad474. 

 

Thanks for reaching out to the Community about running QuickBooks Desktop on two computers and separate location. I'll be happy to explain how to set this up. Before we start, please make sure your PC meets the system requirements for QuickBooks 2020 to avoid compatibility issues when installing the program and enabling the multi-user network. Once done, follow the steps to install QuickBooks on your workstation:      

   

  1. Download the software to other computer through this link: Download QuickBooks Desktop.
  2. Complete the download information and click Search.
  3. Click the Download button.
  4. Once the download is complete, the installation will automatically start. If it doesn't, double click the installer file to proceed.
  5. Select Yes to All the hit Next.
  6. Mark the Software License Agreement then click Next.
  7. Enter the License and Product numbers, then hit Next.
  8. Pick the type of installation you want.
  9. Choose where you want to save QuickBooks.
  10. Pick a new install location or select Next to install to the default directory.
  11. Click Install.

 

Once installed, follow the steps found in this article to start the network: Set up multi-user network.

If you are the only user, utilize a remote desktop app

You may need another solution to have more than one user working on the same file at the same time.
