Will QBDSM run properly on Win11 Pro to only host our 3 user LOCAL ProSub2024 company?

Support wants all the info about my customer (likely so the can upsell us). I told them this has NOTHNIG to do with that, but gave them license and contact for my customer, but they won't talk to me because my name isn't on the account. <sigh>

My customer has ProSub2024 - their Win Server 2019 recently died, and as they aren't doing anything except file sharing we are replacing it with a Win11Pro box.

They aren't ready to go online yet either - so I'm just trying to make sue that DSM will run on 11Pro for HOSTING only. They won't be running QB on this PC - just hosting the company file.

Appreciate any insight. Thanks! 🙂

Yes, QBDSM is fully compatible with Windows 11 Pro for hosting your QuickBooks Desktop Pro 2024 company file. To ensure smooth operation, confirm that Windows 11 Pro is updated with the latest patches via Windows Update.

Also, verify that your firewall and antivirus settings allow the Database Server Manager to run smoothly on your server computer. This ensures it can scan your company files and allow multi-user hosting over your network.
