New to QuickBooks - beginner question

[Carla Fong]

Hi all -

We have been using OneWrite+ for Windows for a loooong time and I really
like it - but it is no longer supported and became time to move to
something else.

Last year I purchased QuickBooks Pro + Payroll 2009 with the full
intention of starting it on Jan 1 2009.

These best laid plans went badly awry, and by the time I got around to
firing up QuickBooks to get the feel of it, it was really too late to do
a clean conversion. Year End / New year would certainly be better and
easier to start fresh, especially payroll.

I wanted to get the feel of it before working on 'live' data, so I
installed it on my home machine to try out and get used to the user
interface. I played a little with QB after I bought it, but now I am
going to really do the change on Jan 1, 2010.

In anticipation of using it I tried this evening to run it, but now it
says I have used all my 'non-registered' uses. First of all, I may have
started it twice when I was trying it before - is 2 (or maybe 3) the
right number of unregistered uses? I want to use it on my home machine
now as a tutorial prior to installing it on the office (real) machine
and mis-creating a bunch of bad company data to deal with forevermore.
I'd like a clean install on the office machine, and register it there,
not on the home machine.

I also have not used or installed the Payroll, so I suppose I'll be on
the hook for Payroll 2010 even though I wasted mucho $$$ on P/R 2009
already and got no use out of it. Ah well.

Does anyone know if I register it on this machine to get some seat time
with it how onerous it is to transfer the registration to the office
computer around Jan 1?

Thanks in advance

QuickBooks allows you to use it for 30 days before registering it.
You should be able to install it on another machine and register it
when prompted.
You may have to make a phone call to Inutit to complete the
registration.
Just follow the registration prompts and if you have to call them tell
them what happened
and what you whant to do and they will help you through the process.
They have always
been very responsive.

Good luck.

I think the key question is, "How many different people will be using your
copy of QuickBooks?', and not so much how many computers it is on. If it is
just you, and no one else will be using your copy of QuickBooks, you should
be okay. The license lets you put it on more than one computer as long as
you are the only user.
