TWO PRODUCTS ON ONE PC?

Hi cruncher1952,

Hope you had a great day!

You can install and use both QuickBooks Premier products on one laptop as long as they are in the same version, version 2020, and not industry-specific. However, yours is specific to Manufacturing and Wholesale. Therefore, you can only use one on your laptop.

Please check out the Before you start section in this article for your reference: Install multiple QuickBooks Desktop versions on one computer.

You can always go back to this thread if you have more questions in mind. Have a good one.

You can use the same QB Desktop license to manage multi company files. You just need to switch industry setting between Manufacturing and Nonprofit whenever you need.

What versions would that be? Two versions that are not industry specific?

@cruncher1952  RE: I am running Desktop 2020 Premier Manufacturing and Wholesale for work purposes on my windows laptop. I have become personally involved with a non-profit using a Desktop Small Business Quickbooks product that I also need to load on the same laptop. Is this feasible?

Yes, it's possible. The easiest way is when the QB versions are different version years, or if you have the same version year and want to run both Enterprise and a Pro/Premier SKU.

So, in your case, you can install QuickBooks Premier Non-Profit versions 2021, 2022, or the current version 2023 without removing 2020 Premier.

Still, I'd be sure you really need Premier Non-Profit. It's quite a 'mild' SKU, to put it mildly (ha!) and you might be fine using Pro instead, which is much cheaper.
