How to upgrade to QuickBooks Enterprise 20.0?

Good day to you, bjnconst,

Let me walk you through upgrading to QuickBooks Enterprise 2020.

You'll get a message when you open the program when a new version is available if you have an annual subscription. To upgrade your it:

1. When you’re ready to start, select Upgrade Now.
2. Mark the Keep old version on my computer checkbox if you also want to keep your current version of QuickBooks. Then select Let’s go.
3. It downloads, installs, and registers the new version for you. It also creates an updated version of your company files.
4. When the upgrades finished, select Open QuickBooks.
5. The upgrade may take some time depending on your internet speed and size of your company files.

If you don't see a prompt to upgrade your subscription,  it’s because the option to not show the prompt again was selected. Here’s how to get it back so you can upgrade.

1. Go to the Edit, then select Preferences.
2. From the General tab, select My Preferences.
3. Select the Bring back all one time messages checkbox.
4. Select OK.
5. Close, then re-open QuickBooks.
6. You’ll then have the prompt to upgrade your QuickBooks subscription.

If you aren't subscribed, it means you made a one-time purchase of QuickBooks. Here's how to get QuickBooks Enterprise 2020:

1. From the Help menu, select Upgrade QuickBooks.
2. If you’re already using Quickbooks, select Upgrade Now.
3. Select the version you want to upgrade to, then select Upgrade Now.
4. If you want to keep your current version, select Keep old version on my computer, then select Let’s go.
5. QuickBooks will download, install, and register the new version for you, and then create an updated version of your company file.

If you’re not prompted to choose a new version, you’ll need to enter your QuickBooks license info. Here’s what to do.

1. Find the purchase confirmation email from QuickBooks.
2. Enter the License Number and Product Number, then select Continue to finish the upgrade.

You can also sign into the customer account maintenance portal (CAMPs) to find the info.

On the other hand, you can purchase the product if you need to buy a new one. After that, you can start the upgrade.

I've added the Upgrade your company files after switching to a new version of QuickBooks Desktop to learn more about the process.

Keep me posted if you need additional information. I'm always right here to help.

Thank you and stay safe!
