Hi,

We are running both regional version QB Cadana and QB USA on same Computer.

What we do is we run 1 version behind for QB USA.

 

So currently we are on QB Canada enterprise 2024 and QB USA enterprise 2023.

 

Now we got notice that QB USA enterprise 2023 is end of support by May 2026.

 

Since now QB is stop releasing new version number, we cannot upgrade QB Canada to next version number i.e 2025 or 2026

 

Due to this now I cannot upgrade my QB USA 2023 to 2024 as it detects that 2024 already install. But inface is it not 2024 USA version.

 

We need to use both region versions of QB on same PC.

 

What to do now?

Why do you have to upgrade your Desktop US Enterprise to 2024? Do you only have Enterprise Silver plan or do you always use the bank feed feature?

2023 is end of support

Hello, PiyushHunter. The reason your computer reports that 2024 is already installed is that QuickBooks Desktop uses shared version and installer components. QuickBooks does not support mixing regional versions directly on the same Windows installation, which is why the installer treats the newer version as already present.

 

You may consider using a virtual machine or a web hosting service to create a separate environment for one regional version, while keeping the other region on the host Windows system.

 

I’ll keep this thread open in case you have any updates or need anything else.

Hi,

Virtual and web hosting is no an option. 

We already has setup file server and remote desktop server. 

 

All my user log in to remote desktop server to access both QB.   

File server also running both region database server.

 

It seems QB is forcing user to user online version.

 

We should be able to user both region on same computer regardless of verison.

Hi PiyushHunter, you can consider having an IT professional check the setup or perform a custom installation to ensure the system recognizes the two versions separately. They can help choose distinct folders for the USA and Canada versions.
 

I'll leave this thread open in case you have any updates or need further assistance.
