Users in different locations for Desktop Pro

Hi there, @fousel13.

Yes, another person or user can access your books on a different computer. I'm here to guide you with the detailed process.

First, you need to have at least two user licenses to enable the multi-user feature. The multi-user mode in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) allows multiple users to install and use the same company file at the same time over a server network.

I'm adding this link for the instructions on how to set up a multi-user network so computers on your network can access your company files: Set up and install a multi-user network for QuickBooks Desktop.

And, here are the steps that will help you install QBDT on the second or another computer:

1. Download the software through this link: Download QuickBooks Desktop.
2. Complete the download information and click Search.
3. Tap on the Download button.
4. Once the download is complete, the installation will automatically start. If it doesn't, double-click the installer file to proceed.
5. Select Yes to All, then hit Next.
6. Mark the Software License Agreement then click Next.
7. Enter the License and Product numbers, then hit Next.
8. Pick the type of installation you want.
9. Choose where you want to save QuickBooks.
10. Pick a new install location or select Next to install to the default directory.
11. Tap on Install.
