Question

Update 2009 Quickbooks Pro

I need to transfer files from my desktop and use my new laptop instead but my file is in release 1 and the files need to have R14 to open.  What do I do?  I have 2009 QuickBooks Pro.  Our small theater (which has been closed since March) can't really afford to upgrade right now.  I just need to be able to open the files.  Very frustrated right now.  Thanks for any help.

We don't have the trial license of QBD 2009 but we may share the trial license of QBD 2011. You may utilize it to open your company file for the time being.

Will I be able to continue to work with my files and save them or is this just a temporary fix to open them?  Is there a time limit on how long this trial file will work?

 

Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply, @Irish Rover.

 

I'll share with you some learning about our trial version in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). 

 

As of now, the trial version we offer on the website is for 2021. As per older versions, such as discontinued ones, you'll need to search for them outside QuickBooks.

 

I'd also suggest sending a direct message to Fiat Lux - ASIA to get the 2011 version as what he mentioned above. 

 

After getting that sample account, you can be able to continue to work with your files and save them in the system for 30 days only. Before you start, make sure that your computer meets the minimum requirements to install QuickBooks to avoid unexpected behavior. 

 

I'd also provide you the steps on how to get the 2021 version in QBDT for future reference. Please note when opening the 2021 trial account, don't try to register so you will not lockout of QuickBooks. Simply close the window. 

 

Here's how: 

 

  1. Go to this link: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-us/new-subscriptions/download-a-trial-of-quickbooks-desktop/00/185974.
  2. Pick a product, then download it on your computer. 
  3. Use the License and Product Number in the link above. 
  4. Follow the onscreen instructions. 

 

Additionally, I've added these articles to help you get familiar with our products and their features.
