Why Different Licenses to Operate

In the license agreement, we make it clear to have separate license to operate software by every Individual. However, if you have both pc and laptop and you are the only individual operator, you don’t need an additional license.

For example, the owner of the firm needs QB solely for payrolls, running reports and some activities and accountant of the same company requires it for entry check. Surely they need two licenses.


Single user license or Multi-user


If you need two licenses, you must go for two single-user licenses. Even if you install QuickBooks in a single computer which you both use, then also for different jobs you need two licenses.


When you need more than 2 licenses, go for a multi-user license instead of separate single users. QuickBooks Pro offers 3 user license, QuickBooks premier allows 5 users and QuickBooks Enterprise offers 5-30 users in 5-user increment.
