want to switch from desktop to online use

Question

I have been thrust into my Administrator's position - and finding that we are utilizing Quicken on a desktop ONLY - trying to see if we can get this online and get everything transferred over - if yes, which I am assuming - trying to find cost factor, pros/cons, how many accounts, etc., - whatever info anybody can share please -

Hi @armourrealtor ,
You would need a license for TeamViewer:  https://www.teamviewer.com/en-us/

This would require a License for TeamViewer Use.
Business Users require a Subscription for TeamViewer.
Personal Users can use TeamViewer free.
And it requires TeamViewer to be installed on both computers.
For Quicken Subscription Products, they can be installed on unlimited computers as long as you are using the same Quicken User ID and password on each installation.
See this FAQ for Future Use:  https://community.quicken.com/discussion/7844658/installing-reinstalling-windows-quicken-subscription-editions

You might look into Remote Access software ... but be aware that Q is NOT intended to be used by multiple people OR for the data file to be stored other than on your hard drive.If all that you want to do is to "look" (but don't touch), then Q Web might work for you ... but you'd need to look into what types of accounts are eligible for Q Web. IIRC, that excludes investment accounts and possibly  asset type accounts.
