Regarding the quickbook pro 2019 and quickbook 2016

Hello Team

 

I purchased the QuickBooks pro 2019, and I am still using the QuickBooks 2016 most of the time in another desktop, even though some features not working.My Quickbook pro 2019 already has another business information. 

Question 1, If I want to install the pro 2019 in this desktop which has QuickBooks 2016 already. Will these two programs have conflicts ?

Question2, if pro-2019 is only for 1 user use, does that mean the program is open in one desktop, can it open in another desktop but not using it at the same time? if it can do that, Does that mean the inventory will update itself in the second desktop?

Question 3, 

After I download the pro-2019 on another desktop, how do I transfer the inventory and all the sales records to the new pro-2019?

 

Sorry for all the confusing questions. 

thanks.

We may run multi version in the same machine at the same time. Make sure creating a different folder for each version when you are installing it.

Run the application (i.e QuickBooks) and access the data file are two different things in QuickBooks Desktop. You may install QB in first machine and put the data files locally. But you need to access the first machine to open the same data file. There are 2 options:

1. Free of charge, utilize the free cloud storage (e.g GDrive, DBox, ODrive) to store the data file and download it to the machine everytime you need to work on it. I only recommend the cloud storage to store the file, not to access it directly. 

2. Lowest cost, using the remote desktop app

I don't get the question.
