How Do I Transfer My QuickBooks License To a New Computer?

If you are wondering that how can you transfer QuickBooks license to a new computer, then you are in the right place. The purpose of this blog is to give you simple yet time efficient protocols for transferring your QB license from your computer to a new computer.

To do this, just install QuickBooks on the new computer and enter the registration and product details. Moving or copying your data file from one system to another system involves sequential steps to ensure that you won't lose any valuable company data. Below are the two procedures that can help you with your objective.

Transfer your company data file from your computer to the new computer. This involves restoring your file via creating backup. This involves use of a flash drive or any other external device or maybe even through a network, if computers are connected. Using flash drive, restore the backup on your new computer while uninstalling the QuickBooks desktop from the old computer. 

In case you are a United States customer, you can use the Intuit Data Protect to restore you data. However, make sure on your new computer, you have signed in the IDP service. Create a back up of files on old computer before uninstalling QuickBooks from it. You can also choose to relocate the entire data folder to new computer. This however, won’t affect your data even if you did not back it up.

Another procedure can be performed which is reinstalling or moving an installation of QuickBooks to the new computer. For this procedure, make sure you have your product and license information available.

Next step is to uninstall existing QuickBooks application before trying to attempt a reinstall.  On the parallel, make sure to download the installation files or insert the CD on the computer where you want QuickBooks Desktop installed. Install QuickBooks Desktop in the conventional manner as it is done.

However, if you are in United States, you can try using the ‘migrate QuickBooks tool’ to automate most of the tasks involved in moving QB from one system to a new system.

Although, make sure that the tool works with admin’s authority and you’ll still need to use an external device to physically move the files. Rest assured, the tool won’t format any of your other files or reformat the external drive per say.
