Upgrade QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus 2023 to 2026

Where is your renewal date this year?

Can you login to CAMPS and find your license code for QB Desktop 2024?

https://camps.intuit.com

We already renewed this year. So you are saying I can download 2026 (not 2024) from CAMPS? Have not looked there yet. Or are you saying we need to upgrade to 2024 before upgrading to 2026?-any install advice appreciated.

Intuit will not release QB Desktop 2025 or 2026. We'll have to wait until Intuit releases a new version in the third quarter. They will support QB Desktop 2024 through 2027.

Hi, sos4dollars. As SIAB mentioned, the most recent version of QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) Pro Plus is the 2024 version. When you upgrade, there is no need to uninstall your QBDT Desktop Pro Plus 2023 or your Database Manager as long as your server manager passes the system requirement for the 2024 version.

It is recommended to upgrade to the 2024 version right alongside your 2023 version because it allows users to retain access to the previous version as a safety net during the transition. Additionally, you need to upgrade each workstation where QBDT Pro Plus 2023 is currently installed. For detailed information about how to upgrade, please see this article: Upgrade QuickBooks Desktop for Windows and Mac.

Before you upgrade, we recommend creating a backup of your company file so that if you ever run into problems, you can use the backup to restore your data.

After the process, you can download the QBDT Pro Plus 2024 version from the downloads page, install it on your Windows server, and select the custom network options. See On a dedicated server or workstations section of this article for more details: Install QuickBooks Desktop.

Once you have completed the entire process, you will be able to use the QBDT Pro Plus 2024 version smoothly.

Let us know in the comments if you have additional questions. We’re happy to help.

Thank you for all of this. Do you happen to know if the upgrade requires a reboot of the Database Manager Server?

Thanks for following up on this thread, sos4dollars.

I'm happy to provide some additional info about the QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus upgrade.

Yes, upgrading from QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus 2023 to 2026 generally requires restarting the server, especially after installing the new database server manager software. While minor updates might not necessitate a reboot, a full version upgrade (e.g., 2023 to 2026) often requires a reboot to properly update the service and file structure.

A few key notes to consider when upgrading:

• Database Manager Update: The Database Server Manager must be updated to match the new 2026 version of the software on all workstations.
• Reboot Necessity: Installing the new database server manager often requires a reboot to initialize properly.
• Multi-User Workflow: After upgrading the server software, the company file itself will need to be updated, which is typically triggered the first time the file is opened by a workstation.
