Hello, I've been using POS18 since 2019 and i had to restore my shop's main PC to factory defaults. When i reinstalled, I couldn't get my backup POS file to restore to my software, I currently have POS v18 and am not able to update it, is there a way to install R11 update to the POS18 I have??

Yes, there is, @txssound. I can share the link for downloading the R11 release patch for Quickbooks Point of Sale (QBPOS).

 

Since QBPOS v18 is no longer available for download on our website, you can go to this link to download the patch for the R11 release: https://qbpos.intuit.com/POS18.0/WebQBPOSPatch_V18R11.exe.

 

The reason why you're unable to update your QBPOS is that it is no longer supported by Intuit. If you wish to update it to the latest release (R15), use this link: https://qbpos.intuit.com/POS18.0/WebQBPOSPatch_V18R15.exe.

 

Additionally, you might want to consider Shopify as an alternative POS solution. For more information, you can visit this link: Shopify.

 

You can always visit the Community page for clarifications or further concerns about installing QB POS v18 updates. We'll be glad to address your queries. Take care and have a good one.

Thanks for joining us here. We appreciate your feedback about the links provided in the original response, NebDan.

 

Can you tell us if you're looking for the R15 version of the patch? Do you have other questions for us concerning QuickBooks POS?

 

Please note that all versions of QuickBooks POS are already discontinued. This means that POS products no longer receive the latest critical security patches and updates. Let me share this article for additional details about this: QuickBooks Desktop Point of Sale discontinuation.

 

Following the discontinuation, Intuit has collaborated with Shopify to offer you an up-to-date retail platform that seamlessly connects with QuickBooks Desktop Financial Software.

 

For more info about the discontinuation of QuickBooks Desktop Point of Sale and to explore the transition to Shopify, we've jointly organized the following informational webinars.

 

You can access them through these links:

 

 

Don't hesitate to reply to share more details and if you have other concerns. We'll jump right to provide help whenever you need it.
