Can the QB Pro be used on one machine and the Payroll be used on another with QB 2012?

As long as your have purchased it for two users, it definitely will work this way

I'm not asking to share between computers. This license is definitely for one computer at a time. From everything I've read such as mh272 pointed out, apparently Microsoft is letting you buy the system builder edition and move it between computers. The old OEM licenses were tied to a computer. If you changed the motherboard you technically had to buy a new license.

I believe you have to have the same version, that is the same year. Quickbooks is not backwards compatible so if your using 2013 accountant's version, you'll have to convert\upgrade the non-profit to 2013.

Yes. We have the program set up on our server and 3 other computers. 3 of us can all work on QB at the same time. The server is what prevents "crashes" when 2 users try to access the same thing at the same time. It has never happened that we know of - the server is smart enough to prevent problems. Great program.

No, not to upgrade your skills. The 2013 might have some added features 2007 doesn't. I'm new to QB but enjoying it. Sue

I'm not sure. I work for a law office and we have individual PC's registered with their individual software. There might be a multi-license version which will allow you to install the software on multiple workstations.

I recently started with the free version and it worked fine. A coworker downloaded the free TRIAL of the PRO version and after using a few times, it wouldn't work without paying. So unless you need the Pro features, don't download the trial, just use the free version.

If your question is whether you can create two separate "company accounts" (one each for business use and one for personal use) under a single subscription, then unfortunately the answer is no. I ended up just using the online version for my small company, and kept using my older quickbooks version for my personal accounting. But if you want to know if you are able to segregate personal expenses from business expenses within a single company account to be able to easily distinguish which items were for business and which were for personal, then the answer is yes. It is very easy to create new charter of accounts and personalize as many expense accounts as you need. The only problem with this though is when you print P/L statements and do not want personal expenses, the report will include ALL expenses, business and personal. Hope this helped.

I have been buying this package for the last several years. Each year the "renewal" for the payroll service costs more than this package. What is in here: The newest version of Quickbooks and a one year subscription to the 3 employee of enhanced payroll. With some careful shopping, I beat the "payroll renewal" and keep my system up to date. If you have more than 3 employees on your active payroll (within one month) you can add payroll for 4+ employees at any time for usually (historical) $100.00 Less than a buck a day for the latest and payroll. QB 2012 alone is $200+.

Hi Peggy, I would not provide the credit card number if I were you. I believe the desktop version is for you to own. You only renew the Payroll Service annually, if you decide to use it. If you are in doubt, call tech support. They'll answer any questions you may have and walk you through. Good Luck!

Yes. Here is the official Intuit position on this:"With a single-user license, you can install QuickBooks on 1 computer and on 1 additional portable computer (e.g., a laptop that you own and use in your business) as long as both devices are used by the same person. ONLY that specified person can access and use QuickBooks on both computers."My note: the second computer does NOT need to be a laptop or portable, but the rest of the conditions apply. Let me know if you need more info.

The software that comes with the Cash Register Plus bundled package is from 2010 and is no longer sold by Intuit. The new software is called Point Of Sale and costs $1,199. The Cash Register Plus software is very basic and is very limited in what it can do. It works fine for simple transactions but most of the sophisticated features are inactive until you upgrade to the Point Of Sale software. I did find this information though about integrating the Point Of Sale with Quickbooks but do not know if it will work with Cash Register Plus.

You must pay for another license to operate the software on a second computer. Single Machine License only. Buyer Beware.

I never attempted to use the software as is. Therefore, I don't know if the software tries to stop you from adding more than 3 employees on the payroll list without the upgrade. I just assumed that I couldn't use the 0-3 employees version because I have more than 10. I believe the only difference between the 0-3 employees version vs. the unlimited upgrade is the number of employees the software allows you to put on the payroll list. Hope this helps.

Sorry I don't know the answer 100%, we have 1 user, but it is on 2 computers we had to register the new computer to intuit, and had no problems. Sorry I couldn't help more, I would contact them using the install helpline's number.

As I remember, the software didn't allow that option. It's a fairly automated cloning process, but it was months ago. I have Windows 7 and it was supported. Don't know about Windows 8, but I don't remember it having any default exclusions about 8. Quickbooks didn't clone. I had to repurchase the program. Everything else was perfect. You'd probably want to contact Kingston for more detailed answer about their cloning program. Everything has still been working great so far.

Unfortunately, you'll have to buy both because Intuit won't support QB 2011 by this May & your payroll service expires this summer. I hate the way Intuit makes money like that - they set up in a way that you'll have to buy their software every several years.
