To upgrade do i need to purchase again? 

To upgrade version do i need to purchase again? I already purchased one :( 

@PromaD 

Which version do you have? 

QB 2017 enterprise 

 I purchased this four years back. Few days ago, i just changed my pc.

Yes, you need to purchase again when you upgrade to the latest version, PromaD.

You'll get a new product and license numbers. Then, use them when you install the upgraded version.

You can purchase and subscribe to QuickBooks. That way, you won't have to get another product and license number every time you upgrade.

Check out this link to learn how to subscribe: Manage your QuickBooks Desktop subscriptions and services. It includes a video tutorial and detailed steps.

If you need to purchase a new version, you can prepare the following requirements.

1. Make sure your computer meets the system requirements.
2. If you haven’t already, download your version of QuickBooks Desktop. Save the file somewhere you can easily find it.
3. Have your product and license number handy.

After you install it, QuickBooks will ask you to activate and update it. If you need help, here's how to activate QuickBooks Desktop.

Let me know if you have additional questions about upgrading QuickBooks. I'm always right here to help you.

QBD 2017 Enterprise is outdated and you won't be able to activate again. Consider upgrading to QBD 2022 Enterprise with the subscription license or cross-grade to QBD 2020 or 2021. You can still purchase a one time license of it. Contact us in private for assistance.
