2022 Quickbooks Enterprise 2 different company files @ different license

I'll share some information to help you manage your company file, naviseyer. 

Thanks for sharing all the necessary information with me. It is my pleasure to assist you in understanding the functioning of the multi-user feature in QuickBooks Desktop and guide you on how to manage your files with ease. 

If you want other users to access your QuickBooks Desktop file from different locations, you'll need hosting services. Fortunately, we've partnered with various hosting service providers to make this easier for you.  

One of our hosting services is Right Networks. This hosting service allows you and your team to collaborate in QuickBooks Desktop from anywhere online. If you want to learn more about this feature, I found this article: QuickBooks Desktop cloud hosting powered by Right Networks. 

Yes, you need to open the same with her LIC number and ensure she has permission as a user to access the company file. This is important for maintaining security and confidentiality.  

It is important to note that any modifications made to the shared company file will affect the file itself. However, you won't be automatically logged out from the file if another user opens the same file. You can still access and work on the file as usual.

You don't need to install any additional software, as your current Database Server Manager is capable of hosting your company files. All you need to do is grant access or permission to the other user to access your company file. If you want to learn more about this, I highly recommend checking out this article: Install QuickBooks Database Server Manager. 

I'm also attaching these handy articles for additional reference.

• Error H101, H202, H303, or H505 when opening your company file

Please don't hesitate to reach out to me if you have any additional questions or if there's anything else I can assist you with. Have a great day!

You have 2 different licenses, correct?

QB Desktop 2022 Enterprise for 12 users and QB Desktop 2022 Enterprise for 3 users?

You can't install and run more than one license with the same edition and year version on the same server. Check with the daughters, when did they purchase the license? If they bought it last year, it is possible you can use their license for QB Desktop 2023 Enterprise to run on the same server.

Another problem is connection. You need a third-party solution to allow daughters to access company files on the server over the internet.

Not sure what you mean to access the server over the internet ,,

But yes you are correct about everything else ... Do you know what wouyld happen if i just allowed the file created by the 3 user license to be opened by the !2 user license ? Would that change anything ? Would it even work ?

The whole issue is that she doesnt want to be stuck . To not be able to pick up and go back on her own if things dont work out . 

If i just added her license and her software to the 1 workstation she uses is their anyway i can give her sister and the book keeper access to it ?

Any ideas what third party software so i can look into it . Maybe i can find a solution that way . i know i can have and run the file and keep it isolated . She was working out the office a few years ago and i had 2 workstations set up to use it they were also able toget to the network . What i never set up before was access for someone that also accessed the other quickbook files from their workstation . I mean worse case i will set it up on 2 computers like before andf her sister and book keeper will have to sit at it to work but if thiers away to avoid that i would like to.   Thanks again for your help . i appreciate your time . 

Im not sure you actually understood my question . But thanks for trying , I appreciate your time . 

The next person seem to understand my crazy rant a little better and i think he got me on the right track just hoping he will clarify a few things . 

Thans again .

Thanks again for the help ...
