Important! If your accountant is working on your file, wait until you get the file back before you upgrade.
If you’ve sent your data to your accountant, wait to upgrade to R9 until after you’ve restored your file with your accountant’s changes using your current copy of QuickBooks. Once the file is restored, choose QuickBooks > Check for Updates to install R9 and upgrade your company file.
Before you upgrade your company file – as always – make a backup, then verify that your data is clean both before and after the upgrade. Just a little housekeeping that can make life easier down the road.
Multi-Users – upgrade the server first, then the clients.
Here’s a list of the changes and bug fixes included in this update:
