I'm here to assist you with your QuickBooks (QB) download issue, Lisa.
To get started with your download, you can visit the Downloads & Updates page to obtain the download link for your version of QB.
ProAdvisors can log into the QB ProAdvisor Center to download their software, while Accountants can log into CAMPS to download their software.
To download your installation file, follow these steps:
1. From the Downloads & Updates page, choose your country, product, and version.
2. Click on the Download button.
If you already have QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) and want to upgrade your product to a newer version, you can check out the Upgrade to a New Desktop version article.
Once you have downloaded QBDT, follow these steps to install it:
1. If this is your first time, set up a multi-user network and install QuickBooks Database Server Manager before proceeding with the installation.
2. Ensure that your computer meets the system requirements, and have your product and license number handy.
3. Open the QuickBooks.exe file.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions, accept the software license agreement, and then select "Next".
5. Enter your product and license numbers, and then hit "Next".
You have two options when installing QB: you can either choose the express install or custom and network install.
Express Install:
We recommend this option if you are a first-time user, reinstalling QB, or using QB on one computer (not as part of a network of computers).
1. Select "Express" and then "Next".
2. Click "Install".
3. When the installation completes, hit "Open QuickBooks".
Custom and Network Install:
We recommend this option if you install QB somewhere other than the default location (such as on a server), host your company files on a server, or have a multi-user network.
For more information on this option, refer to the "Custom and Network install" section of this article: Install QuickBooks Desktop.
After installing, QB will prompt you to activate it. You can follow this article to learn how: Activate QuickBooks Desktop for Windows.
Just in case you encounter any issues when entering your product and license numbers and activation code, refer to this article to know how to fix it: Fix activation, license, and product numbers issues.
You're free to hit us up if you need further assistance downloading QBDT. We've got your back.
