Setting up QB on terminal server with multi-users

I need to set up a single server with multi-user terminal services (Windows

2003 server). What edition of Quickbooks will I need for this to work. Right now I have the Premier edition. I am setting up a new manufacturing facility and need more access to my books. At least 4 will be offsite access and up to 5 from inside the company offices. Currently I have remote access to each of the company office computers for off hours use and on dedicated server for our one currently remote business office. This only allows for one user per machine. I do not want to set up 4 more computers just for the remote accesses as we are already in the process of adding 4 more to our new network.

I will check this thread often.

With 9 users your only option is the Enterprise Edition.

If you want to be officially supported on terminal services your only option is Enterprise Edition.

See other threads here on how to get Premier to run in a not QB supported mode.

As Allan points out, it sounds like you have more users than Premier allows licenses, but if it is the same people, just different locations, you might have a try.

Also, you might be able to get by if you don't have more than 5 concurrent users.

In any case, if you want to have any chance on running under terminal services, you need to buy the 5 user pack, not individual copies of QBooks.

Note: With the new client server database in QBooks 2006, you might actually be able to get acceptable performance when running QBooks on your local computer, rather than using Terminal Server. Unfortunately, I haven't seen any posts yet that provide feedback for this in a WAN environment.

Ok, Thanks for some input here. This supports what I figured. We can have more copies installed if we want with Premier edition just the number of concurrent users is limited. With this large expansion to the company we are likley going to have more concurrent users on at the same time in the same file.
