Hi Magicalwonders,
You may need to use the converter kit.
Download
and install the upgrader's kit (QuickBooks 2006)
Click here to download our upgrader's kit and
save the .exe file in a temporary location on your computer.
This upgrader's kit is a special trial version of QuickBooks 2006. It'll ask
you to install SimpleStart, Regular, Pro, or Premier Accountant edition.
Install the same edition you are currently using. After installing, you'll have
two months and six uses before the software acts you to activate. In Windows
Explorer, navigate to the file and double-click the .exe file that you just
downloaded. Follow the on-screen instructions.
When asked for an
installation code, use the following: 26512-85587-55550-710133
This code will allow you to
use the trial version of QuickBooks for 60 days, but you will not be able to
activate it.
When asked where you want to
install QuickBooks, choose a different location than your current
version of QuickBooks. Do not install on top of your old version!
Convert
your company file to QuickBooks 2006
Now, you have to open QuickBooks 2006 and then open
your old company file to convert it to the 2006 format.
1. Open QuickBooks 2006.
2. Open your old company file. Go to File, and
select Open Company. In the Open company window, navigate to and select
your old company file and click Open.
3. In the Update Company File to New Version
window, select Start Update.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions. When asked for a
name and location of the new company file, append “2006” to the company file
name. DO NOT OVERWRITE YOUR EXISTING COMPANY FILE! You will need it to
view VAT reports from previous periods.
5. After the conversion finishes, close QuickBooks 2006.
Create a backup copy
from the QuickBooks 2006 and restore it on the QuickBooks 2015 Trial version
you recently install.
To open the backup
copy on the QuickBooks 2015 Trial, you may need to open the Sample first to
have the option of “Open or Restore Company” under File Menu.
