Upgrading to 2006 plus adding users

Jun 21, 2006 2 Replies

We have decided we need to add more users and at the same time want to upgrade to 2006. I have found a copy of 2006 M&W at a pretty good price at Sam's club ($299). So I can buy that to upgrade our single user license.



However it appears to add a user we have to get a new license key from Intuit at $399. Is it possible to purchase two boxes of Quickbooks M&W to get the two license (saving us $100)? Or do we have to do it via Intuit.



Thanks,

Q: How do I purchase another license for QuickBooks?

A: Currently, there are two methods to purchase additional licenses for QuickBooks:

You can buy another box of QuickBooks, which has a unique license number. This will allow a user to access the company file AT THE SAME time as another user with a different license number.

Go to the Help menu, click on "Manage My license", and purchase additional seats to your license. You will see a web page that allows you to select "Add seat by phone" or "Add seat by web". If by phone, you will be given a phone number to call and a representative can assist you in adding a seat to your license. If by web, you will be directed to the QuickBooks e-Store where you can purchase additional license(s).

Q: Must I purchase a 5-user pack or can I purchase just what I need?

A: You can purchase just what you need. You may choose from the 1-user or

5-user versions available online or at your preferred retailer. Another option is to buy 1-user and use the "add seat" functionality in the product. This means you are adding a license to your copy of QuickBooks, which is the same as buying another copy of QuickBooks. Adding a license or buying a new box of QuickBooks is entirely up to you - the result is the same.
