how to install quick books on a second computer

Hello there, Kimberly. Great question!

 

There are multiple ways to locate your license key, and you can indeed download the QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) Pro or Enterprise app to install it on your new device.

 

Let's start with locating your original license number. If you still have access to your old computer and your QuickBooks Desktop app, please follow the steps below.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Log in to QuickBooks Desktop.
  2. Press the F2 key on your keyboard.
  3. Navigate to the Product Information window and look for your product number and license number.

 

For additional guidance, refer to the visual reference below.

However, if you're unable to access your previous device, visit the Customer Account Management Portal (CAMPS) to obtain your product and license number.

 

If you bought QuickBooks via our website or from a retail store, check out this article for a complete guide: Find QuickBooks Desktop license info.

 

Moving on to your second question, here's how to download the QuickBooks Desktop Pro or Enterprise on your new computer:

 

  1. Sign in to your new computer.
  2. Connect to the internet and go to the Download QuickBooks page.
  3. Select your CountryProduct, and Version.
  4. Click Search, then Download.
  5. Access your Downloads folder.
  6. Choose the QuickBooks exe file, then install it.

 

For your convenience, here's an article outlining the steps to install the app on your computer: Install QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Alternatively, you can also transfer or reinstall QuickBooks Desktop on a different computer with the migrator tool. Check out this guide to learn more: How to move or reinstall QuickBooks Desktop to another computer.
