The user can have multiple editions as well as versions on the same system. All it takes is some specific steps to install each of the version or edition one at a time.

In case you require to reinstall or move QuickBooks to another system, we will show you how you use the migrator tool. Just read this post carefully till the end, to unleash the further details. Or you can simplify the process by getting in touch with our QuickBooks support team at 1-800-761-1787, and leave the rest on our accounting professionals.

Important points to remember

There are certain points that the user should consider before beginning with the processes:

• The user can work in multiple versions of QuickBooks desktop at the same time. In case the user is working in premier 2019, the user can also open premier 2018. It should be noted that the user can open the same version of premier and enterprise if you use the accountant edition.
• Also, the user can install the same version of QuickBooks desktop pro or premier and enterprise
• Another important point to remember is that the user can only install one industry specific edition of QuickBooks desktop for each version. This means that you can have either QuickBooks desktop premier 2018 retail or premier 2018 contractor, but not both.

It should be noted that QuickBooks desktop accountant is an industry specific edition. In case you are an accountant, make sure to use the accountant edition to switch to any other industry-specific editions of QuickBooks desktop.

• The user cant mix and match different regional versions and editions of QuickBooks desktop. In case you need multiple regions on the same system, it is recommended to use a virtual machine or a web hosting service to create an environment for each region.
• The user cant easily share data or company files between QuickBooks desktop enterprise and pro or premier. The user can also cant share data between different versions of QuickBooks.

It is important to note that if you open a company file in newer version or higher edition of QuickBooks, then it automatically upgrades the company file to the most recent version or highest edition. Once the user upgrades, he/she will no longer be able to open the company file in original version or edition.

Update QuickBooks desktop to latest release version

Once the user installs the QuickBooks desktop, he/she needs to run an update to get the latest release:

1. In this, the user needs to move to the help menu
2. And then, choose update QuickBooks desktop and also follow the on-screen instructions

The user can also schedule automatic updates, so he/she do not have to do that manually.

It should be noted that in case you have multiple editions for the same version, then QuickBooks might not run updates automatically. In order to get most recent updates, updating each version manually is recommended. Also, the user can download updates for specific edition.

As we mentioned earlier, installing multiple QuickBooks desktop versions on one system doesnt involve any rocket science, and we expect that after going through the above processes, you might be successfully able to carry out the task.
