Quickbooks pro 2018 server install

How do you download upgrade of Quickbooks Pro 2018 on server?

I have installed QB server on a MS 2012 R2 Standard server in order to give multi-user access to one business file and have completed the steps to setup the database manager but I am having problems finding the program used to scan for the company file in order to add it to the database manager.

On my Microsoft server 2012 I do not have a start and if I use the windows key I still do not get any Quickbooks programs to choose from.  Is there a Run command that I can use to scan for the quickbooks company file?

There are a few solutions to resolve this, RobertSan.

You can choose either of these options in finding your company file.

• Go the File menu and Choose the Open or Restore Company command.
• Use the Search tool from the Windows Start Menu.

Also, this article provides some other solutions in resolving this concern depending on where you're trying to access company file:  Company File is Missing or Cannot be Found.

Feel free to let me know if you need more help. I'd be around anytime.

In the instructions above to install the server database manager the last step is to do this:

Open the QuickBooks Database Server Manager

1. Go to Start, choose Programs.
2. Select QuickBooks, then select QuickBooks Database Server Manager.

Scan Folders feature

All company files stored on the server must be scanned once to ensure that they're configured properly to allow other users access to these company files.

1. Go to Start, then choose Programs.
2. Select QuickBooks, then QuickBooks Database Server Manager.
3. Select Scan Folders and indicate which folders contain QuickBooks company files. If you're not sure where files are stored, you can choose to scan entire disks.
4. Select Scan. The display bar will indicate which folders are being scanned.

When the scan completes, the company files in the scanned folders are configured for multi-user access.

But the QuickBooks Database Server Manager is not an app on my server in the app list when pressing the windows key.  How can I get there to make sure the database manager is using the company file I need to have multi-user access for?

To answer my own question I found the program in question as QBServerUtilityMgr.exe under C:/Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Intuit/QuickBooks/QBServerUtilityMgr.exe

I had my computer cleaned and I can't find my quick books application anymore

Let me walk you through in looking for your company file, Teresa13. 

QuickBooks Desktop has an option to restore the data that could not be found using a wild card search. We'll have to type in the Start menu the quickbooks.exe file. Once we've found the file, you might want to restore the company file that you last backed up.

We can also directly download QuickBooks through our website.

Let me show you how:

1. Go to this website: https://downloads.quickbooks.com/app/qbdt/products
2. Click US in the Select a Country field. 
3. Choose the Product you have and its Version.
4. Click Search. 
5. Hit on the Download button. 

Install and activate it afterwards and were'e all set. Let me know if you need more help by leaving a reply below.
