Help, need additional details on the transfer of license... I'm attempting to facilitate a transfer of a multi-user Quickbooks Desktop Pro from a Local Business to my Non-profit Church for use in its accounting.
My name is Richard - the owner of SoTxComputers and we have been using Quickbooks for a long long time in my business, and I am currenty running a single user version in my business. And I previously transfered my multi-user version of Quickbooks to another church about 16 years ago where I was Head of the Finance Committee, for their use in doing their accounting.
My Senior Pastor of my current church has just turned 74 years old and has been doing the church accounting with the assistance of Sylvia a church Member and Head of Missions, apparently in the old school method on Monthly Paper Spreadsheets/List. This will soon fall to me, in which I'm also an ordained minister of the church, Secretary of the Incorporated Body, Head of the Deacons, and I don't believe in doing accounting on paper. Therefore, We need a multi-user version of Quickbooks Desktop, to setup at the Church on a PC, I will setup for her access and input, and my review and reporting on the laptop I use at the church. We will not need payroll or any other online feature which would be expired in a Desktop Version 2020, I know.
Kristin - the office manager of Trio- the local company where my Company has for years supplied computer service and support, Said they would be glad to donate their 3 user Quickbooks Desktop Pro 2020; They since have moved on to Enterprise Versions... I researched the procedure and directed her to submit the Transfer of License form and supplied the Church information, Name, Address, Email and TaxID information. And She said Intuit came back and said they couldn't transfer the 2020 license cause the Church didn't have a Account ( presumably an Intuit Account??) with no other instructions...
Clearly this Non-Profit Church Doesn't Have an Intuit Account, has never used Quickbooks before or in the 14 years I have been there, and so Its unclear how to proceed... Am I suppose to attempt to create a new account with Their Pro 2020 license... Doesn't seem to be the right answer to me... I doubt we can setup an account (register with Quickbooks) without a license key... Please help... This again should be an easy task, but its been back and forth for weeks... for an Accepted Purpose
I looked up the email thread for complete clarity and this is Specifically the Response - Kristen said, "Intuit QuickBooks called me this afternoon and said that they cannot transfer our QuickBooks Pro-2020 license because Central Revivals Church isn't registered with them. They said that the church needs to create an account (register) with QuickBooks and then give me their account number so that I can generate a new request to transfer the license."
Thanks, Richard
