QuickBooks 2011/12
If you have QuickBooks already installed on your computer, create a backup of your QuickBooks company file and ensure QuickBooks is closed. Go to the Quicken registration web page and select the version of QuickBooks 2011/12 that you want to try: EasyStart, Plus or Premier. Then click on the 'free trial' button for that version. Complete your details in the registration form, ensuring you enter a valid email address, then click on the 'Download Trial' button. This will then display your Trial Key which you will need to activate the six-month trial of QuickBooks 2011/12. Write down the Trial Key, or alternatively, the Trial Key will also be sent to the email address you added to the registration form. (If you don't receive the email please check your junk email folder, as these emails are sometimes picked up by spam filters). There's no need to download the trial version from the Reckon web site – simply switch back to the July PC User cover disc and install QuickBooks from there. Follow the installation instructions, and enter in the Installation Key Code when prompted.
