How do I switch from QuickBooks Trial to QuickBooks Paid version

If you have the QuickBooks trial version installed on the same computer that you plan to install the proper paid version of QuickBooks then it is recommended that you follow these steps.

• Close QuickBooks
• Uninstall the QuickBooks trial version
• Restart your computer
• Install the purchased QuickBooks version
• Restore your data from your backup.
