Can i run two versions of Quicken on one computer?

SV0

I am a long time Quicken user. I use Quicken Premier for my personal finances.

I am also the Treasurer of a a small charitable organization that is an afilliate of a large national organization. My organization has a checing account and a savings account that I would like to track on Quicken, but I don't want to comingle them with my personal accounts.

So can I run Quicken basic on my computer side-by-side with Quicken Premier without having the two versions conflicting?

Thanks,

No, but you can just create a new Quicken data file (File > New Quicken file) in your version so that it is separate from your data.

If you use Virtual Machine software like Oracles VirtualBox, it is like having a second computer where you can install the second copy of Quicken with its own Quicken Id.

While you could create a second data file in current installation of Quicken, that file would re registered to your personal Quicken Id. If that doesn't bother you, then it is the easiest option.

There is a third option where you buy a second copy of Quicken and switch back and forth between your ID and the organization's ID. It involves some juggling and making sure that you change between them with a specific sequence, but it is doable. If you want to go that route, write back and it will be explained further.
