upgrade to 2024 and multi user

I'd be glad to assist you with the installation of QuickBooks Desktop 2024 on your laptop, JPMAJEN.

 

To start, we need to verify that your laptop meets the system requirements to ensure the best experience when using the program.

 

Once confirmed, you can proceed with installing QuickBooks Desktop 2024. You can obtain the download link for your version of QuickBooks from the Downloads & Updates page.

 

Next, create a folder to store your company file using these steps:

 

  1. Setup a folder to hold your company files.
  2. If you have a server to share data, setup a shared folder on your server.
  3. Install QuickBooks on all workstations.
  4. Setup multi-user hosting.
  5. Turn on multi-user mode on the server:
    1. Start QuickBooks Desktop on the server.
    2. Go to File, then select Utilities.
    3. Make sure you see Stop Hosting Multi-User Access.
    4. If you have only the QuickBooks Database Server Manager installed, you’ll need to scan your company files.
  6. Configure firewall and internet security settings.
  7. Map a network drive to the shared folder on your server.
  8. Open QuickBooks.
