Download QuickBooks When You've Lost Your Disk

I got a call today from a fellow who had lost his QB 2009 Enterprise disk and needed to install the software on an additional computer.  He had it installed on 3 computers and wanted to add a seat (he owns a 5-user license).  He had misplaced his disk and wondered if he could get a copy or some connection to a download.

My suggestion was to call Intuit and have his license information handy.  They could help him,

Out of curiosity, I did a Google search to see if there is a convenient way to get that download link information without bothering the folks at Intuit for such a simple task....there is!

You can use this link to get downloads of most current versions of your software, but you must have your license information in order to do so.  To get that, just press Ctrl and the 1 key in the top row of your keyboard at the same time.

Keep this information just in case you have this issue in the future....great that Intuit makes it so easy!

How to "Un" Apply Credits In QuickBooks

Image
Got a QuickBooks Mess? Call The QuickBooks Gal! Welcome to the QuickBooks Minute. I’m Jayne Miller, the QuickBooks Gal Recently, one of our Reno QuickBooks customers asked about "unapplying" credits in QuickBooks. While there are nicely labeled apply credits buttons, there are none marked unapply. This is the case for both customers (invoicing) and vendors (paying bills). So here is how it is done: For customers, it is a fairly easy process. Go to the invoice to which the credit was applied. Then click on the "Apply Credits" button. In the lower half of the new window that pops up is a list of Previously Applied Credits. Simply find the one, or ones you wish to unapply and click on the check mark next to it to make the check mark disappear. The credit will no longer be applied or tied to that invoice. For Vendors, i.e. bill payments, it is not as clean and simple. The only way to unapply a credit in such a case is to Delete the credit. You can then

QuickBooks Password Protection

QuickBooks now requires your employees to enter a password to view their pay stubs when you e-mail them. QuickBooks generates the passwords automatically; each password consists of the first four letters of the employee's last name followed by the last four digits of their Social Security number. Examples Name:                            SSN:                         Pay Stub Password: Ben Narramore              855-56-4545             narr4545 Deb D'Spain                  782-34-3419             dspa3419 Jimmy Wu                     903-88-7465             wu7465 Note that all characters must be entered in lowercase and punctuation characters are not included in the password. When a last name has fewer than four characters, the whole last name is used (like in wu above) but no additional characters are added. You will need to inform each employee of this new password requirement
