Instructions for QQube Version 5.x multi-user install

PRE-INSTALL REQUIREMENTS

• Read the latest requirements document covering technical hardware/software specs, and application requirements.
• Pre-Install Server Configuration Requirements:
  • Client version of QuickBooks must be installed and registered on the server via the administrator console.
  • Administrator console can only be locked - not logged out of

The Intuit SDK (Software Development Kit) only allows QQube to communicate with QuickBooks via a client interface, and doesn't allow the use of a service to perform that communication.

1. IMPORTANT:  Use the latest version of QQube version 6.x  that you are entitled to under your subscription - or what you have stored on your computer.
2. Login to the server console and install the QQube Multi-User Server option using the qqubeinstallwovsto.exe installation package.
3. Use the normal qqubeinstall.exe installation package on each network workstation you wish to have access to QQube.

INSTALLATION DETAILS

***Multi-User SERVER Install***

There are two options to install the server portion:

1. At the physical console, logged in as admin
2. Remote access to the console (you can use the following command from the Run menu: %windir%\system32\mstsc.exe /admin) 

in order for QuickBooks to run - and communicate with QQube - the console can ONLY be locked e.g. using Ctrl+Alt+Del.  If the console gets logged out of, then QuickBooks cannot run, and therefore QQube cannot talk to it, to extract the data.

The Multi-User Server portion installs three components:

1. QQube Database
2. QuickBooks to QQube Synchronizer Engine
3. QQube Configuration Tool

***Multi-User CLIENT Install***

You will install this portion using the same QQubeinstall.exe on each desktop. The following components will get installed. 

1. QQube Configuration Tool (Allowing the user to control dates and manual refresh options)
2. Two ODBC DSN's (QQube Financials, QQube User)
3. Excel Add-In

QQube will attempt to find the database on the network and return the following screen:
