Identifying an Existing QuickBooks Installation Deciding which computer will operate as the CQI (ChamberMaster QuickBooks Interface) computer should be based on the considerations listed in “Requirements”. QuickBooks software may also be installed on a network. If this is your case, simply identify one of the networked computers as the QuickBooks computer for these purposes. Network access to QuickBooks will not be modified during this process. If QuickBooks is installed on a network, the server is usually not the best location for the CQI software. A QuickBooks license is required by the CQI connection which would be an inefficient use of a license if the server is not typically used as a QuickBooks workstation.
