Restore Failed, when you try to restore a backup

I created a company file in QB Desktop enterprise Solutions: Accountant 17.0 and I need to move the company to QB Premier Contractor Edition 2018 on a different machine.  I tried making a backup and then restoring the backup file to the Contractor edition and it fails with error code -6123,0.  I looked up the error code and followed the instructions and it still fails.  I tried creating a Portable Company File and restoring that and it fails.

Is it possible to move a company file from the QB Desktop enterprise Solutions: Accountant 17.0 version to the QB Premier Contractor Edition 2018?

If yes,  How?

Restore Failed, when you try to restore a backup

A warm welcome to the Community, Larson0357.

I'm here to lend a helping hand in getting past the error -6123,0 and provide you with some information about moving from QuickBooks Enterprise to QuickBooks Premier. Let's get you back up and running.

 

To convert everything in your file including payroll transactions you will need to hire a conversion specialist like QBConvert to convert the file.

 

There are third-party utilities on the market that offer to transfer the data from your Enterprise file to a new QuickBooks Premier file but all of them use the QuickBooks which has limitations so they can't transfer everything. If you need to convert all the data have it done by a professional.
