One of Will’s business associate’s presented the following inquiry. His response is below.
Q: I had a potential client call that was using Point of Sale in one business and was opening a second business. She wanted to know if she could use her single license to run both businesses.
Has anyone been able to do this? The training material says you can only access "One company file at a time" but it doesn't cover using one license to access two different companies at the same time. Is this possible?
A: You can create two separate files and switch between them, although it can be a pain if you are running a second workstation license as you can't be in one company on the server and another on the client workstation. Also, transferring to QuickBooks Financial can be a pain. It is clearly a violation of the licensing agreement. There is a difference between what is technically possible and what is allowed. My expectation is that she may receive a letter from Intuit's licensing because clearly that can be found out if a license is being used from multiple locations.
