1. Log in to your computer as an admin

• Turn on your computer and log in using your
  administrator credential. In the business version
  of the Windows operating systems, the security
  functions of Windows must have administrator
  rights for installing the QuickBooks software.

2. Click Next after Download is complete

• Mostly, users purchase QuickBooks straight from
  the official website of Intuit. And after you
  download the QuickBooks software, Windows prompts
  you to run the InstallShield Wizard, which is a
  different program and it is the one that
  initiates the QuickBooks installation process.
  Finally, Windows prompts a text saying, Welcome
  to QuickBooks Desktop. Press Next at the bottom
  of the text box to continue.

3. Accept the QuickBooks license agreement

• When the installation of the QuickBooks software
  begins, QuickBooks request you to accept their
  rules as specified in their agreement. Click on
  the I Agree tab and accept the agreement to
  continue installing the QuickBooks software. This
  lets you be harmonious with their consent of the
  License. You cant manage it or make changes in
  the agreement thus click on Next to go to the
  next step.

4. Provide Product and License details

• When the Product and License Number window pops
  up, type both licensing information and tap on
  the Next button. Remember, these credentials are

  cover or shown on the proof of purchase window
  once you downloaded the software.

5. Disclose if you are planning to share any
data over a network

• After the Custom and Network Preferences window
  pops up, state if you plan to transfer the
  QuickBooks data file/folder across a network or
  not. However, the majority of small companies do
  not do that. But in case your company faces such
  a situation, then specify that you will operate
  QuickBooks on the same system undergoing the
  installation.
• Also, you will be offered some other preferences
  based on the QuickBooks edition you are
  installing. You can also perform the installation
  of the QuickBooks software on your system and
  make it accessible to different computers on the
  same network or you can ignore the installation
  of the QuickBooks application on other computers
  and keep the data file of the QuickBooks on your
  system.

6. Pick the Installation location

• Use Intuit default installation location by
  clicking Next tab in the Upgrade or Change
  Installation Location window. The default
  installation location of Intuit is appropriate
  for 999 out of 1,000 users.
•  
• It is not mandated for you to select the
  recommended placement of installation. Therefore,
  you have the option to prefer to own the software
  of QuickBooks along with data files restoring in
  some different placement as well. However, most
  people may not agree or accept this preference of
  choice. But if you are somebody having strong
  knowledge about securely customizing the
  installation of QuickBooks placement/location
  settings, you are not required to ask for any
  help in finding out about this preference of
  choice working.

7. Click on the Install button

• The installation software informs you that
  finally it is ready to start after you tap on the
  Install button. Thus, the software gets started
  with the installation of the QuickBooks Desktop.
  Finally, when the installation software starts
  operating, you can see a tiny bar displaying the
  progress of the process.
•  
• If, for some reason, you have to cancel the
  installation program at any point in time, you
  are free to click the Cancel button. QuickBooks
  alerts you about the setup being unfinished.
  Thereafter, you can initiate the setup process
  right from the cancellation of the installation
  of the program.

8. Allow Installation to be over

• Finally, you are done with the installation of
  the QuickBooks Desktop. You will find new stuff
  available within the Programs list and perhaps
  the latest shortcuts are given on your desktop.

9. Activate QuickBooks.

• When you open QuickBooks for the first time, a
  message will pop-up asking you to activate the
  accounting software. Originally, activation
  indicates informing QuickBooks your identity. And
  if QuickBooks can retrieve your identity using
  the earlier details of product registration
  available on your computer, then it just requests
  you to authenticate regarding its revelation as
  true. Or else, you are required to provide some
  added details for authentication.
• Now, if you are a new user, do register before
  you start using QuickBooks. In case you are
  working on a network and expect to transfer a
  QuickBooks file kept on your computer with some
  other system on the network then install
  QuickBooks on all the systems that you expect to
  operate with the QuickBooks file.
•  
• Remember that you must have a distinct copy of
  QuickBooks like belonging to the five-pack
  edition for every system on which you think of
  installing QuickBooks. Apart from this, operating
  QuickBooks using a network along with many
  QuickBooks users isnt complicated or difficult.
  QuickBooks is there to look after the difficult
  part.
