QuickBooks is a powerful tool for accounting experts worldwide and it is made up of many functions and features. From tracking sales and purchase invoices and applying customer credits to making adjustments and tracking sick-pay for employees easily, professionals from every industry are able to take advantage of this impressive software. One of such functions is the QuickBooks Database Server Manager or QBDBSM for short.
This is a part of QB that deals with its Network Data files. These are files that end with a ‘.nd’ extension and are required by the company files that are saved on the host device. As a QB user, you have to keep in mind that one version of the software requires one QB Database Server Manager. If you have more than one edition of QB Desktop installed on your computer, then you need one QBDBSM for every version that you are using. As is the case with any software, you also have to follow a QuickBooks Database Server Manager Update at some point.
However, that means you are not installing multiple versions of the QBDBSM software but that you are actually installing the different versions of processes that run in the QuickBooks Database Server Manager. Also, you need to keep in mind that every version that you are downloading and installing for the various versions of QB on your computer have to be done in chronological order, which means that you need to install the oldest version first, then the newer one and so on.
Generally, you may be required to perform an update on the QBDBSM software from time-to-time. It is typically mandatory after a new year of QB Desktop has to be switched to in your organization’s workstations. Alternatively, installing a new version also becomes important in case of a critical update release for the version of QB that your company is using at present.
In this article, we are going to mention some of the steps that will help you update the QuickBooks Database Server Manager Update. For the entire process, please refer to our blog that covers this topic in detail. The following steps are a part of the update process, so take a look:
- First, you must ensure that your QuickBooks Desktop is updated to the latest version. For this, download the latest update patch which is common for both the workstations as well as the server.
- Once you have completed the download and installation of the update patch or patches, restart your server for all the changes to take effect.
- You may receive a message that says your company file has to be updated as well, once the server has been rebooted. Additionally, you will also be prompted to create a data backup due to the changes made to the database structure.
Completing a QuickBooks Database Server Manager Update is extremely important if you want to be able to check which company files require multi-user access and make changes accordingly. This software is also necessary for keeping an eye on the local hard drives and automatically adjust new company file settings.
