How to Transfer the License for Your QuickBooks

Quicken's QuickBooks software allows you to organize all of your financial records, including invoices and bills. This program can also help business owners keep track of customers who have paid for something, and of those who still owe money. If, for example, you sell or give away your copy of QuickBooks, you will also need to transfer the software's license to its new owner by filling out an online "Transfer of Ownership" form on the QuickBooks website.

Instructions

1. Navigate to the QuickBooks Transfer of Ownership webpage (see Resources). Fill in your product's license or registration number. Select "QuickBooks" from the drop-down menu, then select the product's year.

2. Fill in your license ownership information, including your company's name, address, phone number and email.

3. Provide the same information for the person to whom you want to transfer the license. Enter the reason you wish to perform this transfer into the text box at the bottom of the screen.

4. Click the check box to agree to the Transfer of Ownership terms. Click on "Submit Request."

5. Pay the $25 transfer fee when a QuickBooks customer support agent contacts you. The agent will usually contact you within 24 to 48 hours.
