So why does multi-user only work for 2022 program and not any previous versions of QuickBooks desktop?

I have tested this 9 ways to Friday now listen to your "Tech Support" breath in my ear with no answers on Multiple phone calls never being told that ONLY the 2022 version will work with the 2022 Data base manager.

The first glaring issue I see is that if you attempt to only install the 2022 data base manager DB32, it installs in 32bit even though its a 64 bit installer and It doesn't work at all for any version year.

Second, The new 2022 software is also 64 bit version where all previous versions were 32 bit.

In order to get the 64 bit Data base manager you have to install the whole GD program along with the data base manager in order to install the 64 bit Quick Books data base manager DB32 (64-bit).

After this the only version year that works to go into multi user mode is 2022. No previous versions will go into Multi user mode when the 64-bit DB32 Data base manager is installed.

This is absurd for CPA's trying to manage way more than one or two file from a file server. Useless space wasted on expensive server drives where the program will never be run. Its an OS drive for services and utilities... 

You all keep labeling these questions as solved but they are not.

What are the technicians doing to provide an option to the 64 Bit problem? Nothing? Tough luck? sorry you paid so much for so little? Actually its more like take what we give you and like it.

What I am hearing from Intuit / QuickBooks is old software is no longer supported if you want to do anything with purpose in the 2022 version. Other wise best option is to encourage everyone to not update or upgrade to 2022 versions of your software so they can maintain full operational capability of version years 2021, 2020 and 2019 until 2019 is no longer supported in May 2022.
