We are using Quickbooks Premier Plus Manufacturing and Wholesale 2023 to run our business. We would like to spend more time away from the office. Is it possible to setup a laptop as a host and keep the desktop at the business and the two can coincide with each other? Meaning what is ever done in the laptop can automatically go into the desktop and vice a versa. I know about a multi user mode, but do you have to buy that seat. If so who do you contact for that?
Thank you for reaching out to the Community, joe2017. I'm here to help you set up QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) to multi-user mode.

Please let me know if you have any questions about the multi-user mode in QBDT. I'm always here to help. Have a great day.
How many user license do you have now? If you already have 2 user licenses, you can set p a private cloud solution on the host and both users can access the same company file via internet.
