As mentioned by On Beta, you can move your company file to another computer without affecting the product license. With this process, a one-time password won't be required.
Here's how it works:
- Before you begin, confirm QuickBooks is installed on your new computer.
- Create a backup company file on your original computer.
- When you save the backup file, give it a unique name so it's easy to identify. This also helps prevent accidental overwrites.
- Save your file somewhere it can easily be located, like the Windows desktop folder.
- Move your backup to the new computer. You can either put it on a flash drive or another external device. There's also an option to share it if your computer is on the same network.
- Restore your backup on the new computer and be sure it has a unique file name.
- If you use payroll services, be sure to download your latest tax table after moving the file.
You'll be able to learn more about moving company files to different computers in our Move your company files to another computer article.
I'll be here to help if there's any additional questions. Have a lovely Thursday!
