Question

Multi-user

I have a client who has quickbooks 2016 and wants to start using his quickbooks with multiple users in different locations.  I assume he needs to not only upgrade his quickbooks but also set up remote log-in to a main computer so that everyone logs into the same quickbooks on one computer?

It's a pleasure to have you here in the Community, @MLR123.

 

You're right. To use the multiuser feature in QuickBooks Desktop, they need to upgrade to the latest version of QuickBooks. To learn more about the process, I encourage you to browse this article: Upgrade to newer versions of QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus, Premier Plus, or Enterprise.

 

Then, set up a cloud drive. You set up a multi-user network so computers on your network can access your company files. You can also check this resource for the process: Hosting your company data in multi-user mode in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Additionally, find out what hosting providers are authorized by Intuit to host QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Feel at ease to comment down below if you have further concerns. I'll make sure to answer them for you. Stay safe and have a good day.

You may have 2 options:

1. Deploy a private cloud at your own premise

2. Put your license and company file(s) on an authorized QB cloud hosting
