Using multi-user mode can help boost productivity within your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) company, @twinlakesrv. I'd gladly lend a hand in setting this up.
If you have more than one license, you'll have the option to switch to multi-user mode seamlessly. At the same time, the only role that can change this preference is the admin user. Since you've mentioned that you're utilizing QuickBooks Desktop, please be aware that you can only have up to three users working in the same company file. Additionally, If you're unsure how many user licenses you have, check out this article for guidance: Add a user license to your QuickBooks software.
If you have a different license and your QBDT company file is installed on separate devices within the same network, you should consider using a hosting service. This is a reliable way for other users to access your company's data simultaneously.
There are several ways and methods available for configuring workstations and servers within your network. Select the best option that is suitable for your organization.
- Client-Server network
- Peer-to-Peer network
- Remote Hosting Services:
- Local Terminal Server
- QuickBooks Desktop with Hosting
