Can multiple users use the Mac 2013 version? In other words, can we put Quickbooks on our server and have several people use the same company files?

You can, but you have to purchase either the server version or a multi-user license. QB allows you to install on one desktop and one portable device, but you cannot use both at once. Keep in mind that this can change at Quickbooks whim so this answer may be out of date by the time you read it.

As an S-Corp with only myself, I do need to run a payroll but also find the subscription costs out of line with my need. As such, I continue to use QB4.0 for the Mac - which has and continues to run payroll with no additional costs since 1997. Although the tax table service is discontinued, I do update the tables manually to maintain current tax percentages. The 940 and 941 forms are now out of date, but the information is still correct. I transfer the numbers to the new forms manually. W2's and W3's I do online with SSA. Only runs in classic though. Hasn't been a problem until OSX 10.5. Now I'm researching options. Note: I have bought all QB upgrades through current versions for both the PC and the MAC. I have reverted back to QB4 Mac however every time because the payroll options there were just great for my needs - and have been stripped from all subsequent versions of QB since regardless of platform. Too Bad!

No problem, I just use windows explorer to copy the .QBW (quick books company file) file from my desktop into the equivalent folder on the laptop overwriting the old files and voila they are synched. But be very careful to really overwrite older with newer data and not vice versa or forget to synch before you continue entering data (as it has happened to me) otherwise it is a mess. Good luck.

I don't think they sell a version that does over 3 employees, you have to call quickbooks and buy the upgrade.

Yes. The Mac version is (obviously) formatted to be fully compatible with all Macs. You can very easily format it to an exFAT file system (look for tutorials online) to make it work seamlessly with any modern Mac AND Windows computer.BTW, consider upgrading from Mountain Lion to the latest OS X Mavericks. It's easy and free.

Yes, I use one at work and share with several departments. I also have another at home and share files with other family members. I access both and we all update files.

As I remember, the software didn't allow that option. It's a fairly automated cloning process, but it was months ago. I have Windows 7 and it was supported. Don't know about Windows 8, but I don't remember it having any default exclusions about 8. Quickbooks didn't clone. I had to repurchase the program. Everything else was perfect. You'd probably want to contact Kingston for more detailed answer about their cloning program. Everything has still been working great so far.

I'm interested in the answer to this as well. I've always bought the cd version thinking it's the only way I can share with family members. (I believe it's up to 3 filings)? Would the 'download' version allow for this too?

Hello Dee, Thank you for your inquiry. The software creates a file that can get imported into the Quickbooks program. If you need anything else, please let us know. Thank you.

I'm a Mac user not Windows. However, I believe it does not matter what system you are running as long as it's formatted correctly.

Yes, I have no problem running QuickBooks. As a matter of fact, I run more than one version of QB for different clients. But beause I spend hours at a time making entries, I prefer to use a full size keyboard and mouse with the laptop.

Yeah, probably... 2 different file systems, but there is a way. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2518

Yes! The first purchase of this item will force you to get a Microsoft account (you can use an existing @outlook.com, @live.com, or @live.com, and some will be able to employ @msn.com, etc) or you will have to create one if you want a separate account. You will then be able to select a domain, that service will use for referencing itself, as well as for use with those who do no have a custom domain. It will be in the following syntax: user@selectedsubnet.onmicrosoft.com and SharePoint will run a public website from https://selectedsubnet-public.sharepoint.com. Once the account you will use to administer the service is created, that user, in this case the adminstrator, may install the software on up to 5 different PC/Mac's any combination thereof. BUT they must all be under the username you selected for the administrator. If you want different email addresses, you must purchase additional licenses. BE VERY CAREFUL! Office 365, is not for people who are tech savvy, they must be IT professionals to fully administer this. If that isn't you, then buy the Office 2013 Standalone Suites, which can allow for multiple license situations under different users (don't the mistake of patting yourself on the back on this one, you'll regret it). If you want more than my word for it, go right to Microsoft here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/business/compare-all-office-365-for-business-plans-FX104051403.aspx Take note that the first row of items is defined as "Subscription to Office for up to 5 PCs/Macs and 5 Windows tablets/iPads PER USER. Office for iPad includes Word, Excel, and PowerPoint." Can't be much clearer than that, but the answer is yes, they need to all be under the same user. When you install on multiple machines, you will enter whatever user will be utilizing that machine and it will be authenticated against the setup initially performed.

Yes you can. I worked with Filemaker on Mac and PCs and you're able to transfer the DBs easily.

I do not have a MacBook Pro so I do not know the answer. I do know the Business software did not work on my PC. I could not download my information from last year. Description read that H&R Block software would easily import from Turbo Tax and Quicken software, however later I was told that was not true with the Business Program.

Hi Arthur, Yep, that is not a problem! We actually allow our users to install a single license on up to two computers, as long as both computers are for the same individual. Thanks!

You can install Quicken on up to three computers running the same operating system, as described in their respective Quicken End User License Agreements. You do not have to purchase additional copies of Quicken to install it on the second and third computer.
