Migrating Quickbooks Desktop menu extensions to another system

I am using QuickBooks desktop latest edition software on a Windows 10 64bit machine and developing menu extensions and callback applications, changing settings and exploring things. I want to maintain a separate production grade environment with another licensed copy of QuickBooks desktop running where only the finalized changes to menu extensions or settings need to be applied. So, the question is how do I migrate the finalized menu extensions and settings(preferences like email server config) from one machine to the next ? Does QuickBooks Desktop have any feature for settings migration ? If I move the company file to the new machine would the menu extensions and settings get migrated to the new machine ?

Hello there.

 

Let me connect you with the appropriate support so you'll get the help you need.

 

There's a designated department that could assist you in migrating the menu extensions of QuickBooks Desktop to another system. With this, I recommend contacting our Developer Support Team. They can thoroughly discuss this matter with you and provide the most appropriate suggestions or resolutions.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to this website: Intuit Developer Support.
  2. Select QuickBooks Desktop under the What do you need help with? section.
  3. Pick the Ask a Question tab.
  4. Create a Developer Account or log in if you have an existing account.
  5. Type in your concern, then click Ask.

 

Further, the API Docs & Tools and Blog menu lets you explore the latest application features on the Intuit Developer's page.

As far as I know, you can apply for a free QB Desktop license as a developer. If they refuse to provide it, you can use the trial version for good if necessary.
