Saving Quicken data files locally (directly on your computer's hard drive), and not over a network, decreases the risk of data loss. Quicken incrementally saves your data as it's entered. Quicken is not designed to be used over a network or shared drive.
We also strongly advise against installing Quicken on a network. We don't recommend sharing or attempting to sync Quicken data files between computers on a network, as this may lead to data file damage. Can I install or use Quicken on a network? You can find instructions to move your data file to another computer by clicking here. Quicken needs to be installed on each computer. Can I use the same Quicken data file on more than one computer?Ī file can be moved from one computer to another computer, but it cannot be used simultaneously on both computers. However, you will need to sign in with the same Quicken ID on each computer as the membership is linked to your Quicken ID. With this release, there is no limit on how many computers Quicken can be installed on.
