QuickBooks is indeed one of the best software for
accounting, which helps smaller and medium
businesses. This software lets the users put
their hard work into potential needs by handling
their financial aspects. This software also
enables you to install multiple QuickBooks
versions on your computer system, which means you
can simultaneously access more than one version
of QuickBooks. But, there are various
conditions you need to follow before installing
multiple versions of QuickBooks on your computer.
This blog will introduce you to those points and
the steps of installing more than one QuickBooks
in your system. Consider These Points before
Installing Multiple QuickBooks Versions. You can
install multiple versions of QuickBooks on your
computer, but you need to check specific points
before installing various QuickBooks versions.
A few terms will help you understand better how
it works. Version Version is nothing but the
numerical symbols of the release of
products. Edition It is a set of
characteristics present in the product. Premier,
pro, and enterprise are some examples..

• Flavor Flavor is the industry-specific set of
  sub-characteristics in any product. Non-profit
  and retail are two examples.
• Region Region is nothing but a specific
  location. Like the United States and Belgium.
• On your computer, you can run more than one
  version of QuickBooks. For example, suppose you
  are using premier 2018 you can also start using
  premier 2019 if you have access to the accountant
  edition.
• You can also install the same version of
  QuickBooks desktop pro or premier and enterprise.
  
• You can install only one flavor for a premier or
  enterprise version.
• In times of edition, only one edition, like
  QuickBooks premier and enterprise, can run at a
  time. For example, suppose you need to open
  QuickBooks premier 2018 and require opening
  QuickBooks Enterprise 18.0 then you will have to
  close QuickBooks premier to open QuickBooks.
• Installing only one QuickBooks region in a
  different computer system is advised.
• It is impossible to exchange data between
  multiple QuickBooks versions (years).
