QB Pro 2009 - Using Outside the USA

Excellent broad band internet connection here in Brazil with no restrictions. Several years ago I bought a new version of QB and couldn't register it because I was outside the States.

That's a question for Intuit.

Quite possible, especially if they have a local distribution channel for SA in general/Brazil in particular, they could restrict US market copies.

A US copy may not have features needed to comply with your country's income tax and sales taxes without a lot of fudging to get the numbers right. For example, the US and Canadian copies are very similar but the Canadian version has the abilities to automatically account for the federal and provincial sales tax regulations, and possibly other differences that I am not aware of.

Will you have a good internet connection? And do you expect the country you are visiting to be putting restrictions on that use?

Or he could be an offshore service for USA books. Just like when you call Intuit tech support and get connected to the Philippians.

That has not changed with the current version. You need to supply a phone number and zip code to register the product. This would require you to be in the US to supply this information.

Once registered you shouldn't have problems getting updates UNLESS the update process checks your location via the IP address you have.

I would call Intuit and ask them. Use the pre-sales folks so that they don't try and charge you for support.
