I have  QB PRO 2016. I am switching to a new computer and need to know what is the easiest way to transfer everything to the new computer. Is there a way to find my auth code in my current QB?

Let me provide the steps on how to get your auth code, gmaior.

 

You may be referring to the validation code to activate QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) on your new computer.

 

To get this code, you'll need to contact our QuickBooks Care Support. They have the specific tools to generate validation codes to activate the software.

 

You can contact them through this link:

 

  1. Click https://help.quickbooks.intuit.com/en_US/contact.
  2. Select your QuickBooks version, then continue as a guest.
  3. Click Search for something else, then enter your contact reason in the Tell us more about your question field.

  4. Click Search.
  5. Choose Start a Message.

I'd like to let you know that QuickBooks Desktop 2016 is no longer supported. Make sure that the new computer has the same specs as the old one. This is to ensure your company file will run smoothly and maintain the functionality of the features.

 

If not, you'll want to upgrade to the latest version. Let me provide these links to learn what computer needs to run QuickBooks.

Stay in touch with me if you need additional information. Just leave a comment below, and I'm right here to help.
