Can I install more than one Quicken file on my computer

BLN1111

I currently have Quicken 2017 (Windows) on my computer. I would like add another Quicken 2017 to my computer for security reasons, to keep information completely separate. Is this possible???

Quicken is just like any other computer program that uses a DATA FILE to store all your information.... just like with MS Word or MS Excel.

You can just create another and different Quicken QDF file as you need, you can have several for whatever situations you need to keep track of.

... File --> New Quicken File

To answer your question, NO, you can not install a second copy of Quicken for Windows on a computer.  Years ago it was possible, but they had to be different versions (year).

Quicken data files are completely independent from each other so there is no need to have a second installation of Quicken on a computer.  While there is some global data, but it is limited to things like the recent file list but does not include any financial data or security information other Quicken Id registration information.
