Hello there, @priority,
You'll be glad to know that you can store the database on a server using QuickBooks Database Server Manager (QBDBSM).
You need to ensure that QuickBooks is compatible with your setup by checking the system requirements. This also prevents issues when you start using the program.
After checking the system requirements, here are the steps to follow in installing the server manager:
- Open the QuickBooks installer, then double click it.
- Start the Installation Wizard, then download updates when necessary by selecting Next.
- Close other open programs, then click Next.
- Select I accept the terms in the license agreement, then click Next.
- Click Custom or Network Options.
- Choose an installation type, then select Yes, allow access.
- Enter the License Number and Product Number.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
