QuickBooks Premier 2019 - Working from Home Computer during extreme weather

Is there a way that I can download the QuickBooks Desktop software and work on the company books at home, when adverse weather keeps me from comping into work.

The software is loaded on a single PC, with the company file loaded on the individuals PC. Version is for a single user. Have missed 6 days of work and am getting really far behind.

If this can be done, how to I transfer the company file between machines?

Thanks, any advice would be helpful.

Hi LaurieLWaytuck,

Thank you for your message!

Per the licensing agreement, you are able to ensure your QuickBooks product on a work computer and a portable computer to allow you to work at home when needed. You should be able to just install the software on that secondary device and you would be able to access the company file without needing to "transfer" it between machines.

Hope this helps!

Hello Baily,

Much thanks for your response. The software is installed on both machines, but they are NOT networked. My question is what is the best way I can access the company file without being networked, or having the company being "hosted" which is extremely expensive for a non-profit firm.
