QuickBooks Shortcuts

Well, had to do some installation with Quickbooks 2012 the other day and had a few issues with licenses.  After calling tech support found a few interesting shortcuts that are handy.

• Press F2 on the main Quickbooks screen.
• This gets you to the information about QuickBooks.  Shows you the license and current running information.
• To enter a verification code is really tricky.
• Go to the Help/About screen
• From there press CTRL+R+P simultaneously
• There you can enter your verification code.
• The last item was related to messages of QuickBooks already running.  This was driving some of the accountants mad.  Although the fix is quite simple.
• Kill the existing QuickBooks task from the task manager (QBW32.exe)
• Start a new Quickbooks session and log onto a company
• Open the Preferences from the Edit menu
• Select General and My Preferences
• Clear the check box that says Keep QuickBooks running for quicker startups.
