Multiple regions of a QuickBooks Desktop should not be installed on the same computer.When you work in Premier 2017 and need to open Enterprise 17.0, you must close Premier before you open Enterprise. Only one QuickBooks edition (such as QuickBooks Premier and Enterprise) can be used at one time.When you work in Premier 2017 and need to open Premier 2016, you don't need to close Premier 2017 before you open Premier 2016. Multiple versions (such as QuickBooks 20 Desktop) can be used at the same time.The Accountant Edition can also be toggled to any other flavor of Premier or Pro desktop. Note: The Accountant desktop Edition, while it's own edition, is treated like a flavor of Premier desktop. Only one flavor of QuickBooks desktop can be installed per Premier or Enterprise version.Enterprise does not fall under this rule. Both QuickBooks Pro and Premier editions use the same installation files and folders therefore, you CANNOT have Pro and Premier of the same version installed on the same machine.Multiple versions of QuickBooks Desktop can reside on the same computer.Examples are United States, Canada, and United Kingdom.īefore attempting multiple product installations, note the following: A region refers to a specific location for which the product was designed.Examples are Contractor's, Non-Profit, and Retail.

A flavor refers to an industry-specific set of sub-features in a product.Examples are Pro, Premier, and Enterprise. An edition refers to the set of features included in a product.Examples are QuickBooks 2017 and Enterprise 17.0. A version is the numeric notation of the product's release.
