Legacy KB ID: 4072

Question

What do I need to do to successfully install Quickbooks on a network?

Answer

Explanations, diagrams and detailed step-by-step guides can be found in the

·         printed QuickBooks Startup Guide, or

·         the QuickBooks User Guide PDF document on the installation disk. 

 

The computer on which the datafile is stored (the Server or the principle PC of a peer-to-peer network) will have 2 Services installed and started:

·         QBDatabaseManagerService (on Server) or QBCF Monitor Service (peer-to-peer), and

·         QuickBooks DBxx (where xx is the version number of QuickBooks:  2011/12=20; 2010/11=19)

 

Upgrading

When upgrading QuickBooks to the latest version, the QB Database Server Manager (on the Server) for the latest version must also be installed.
