Reckon Accounts Home & Business 2023 (desktop) Dual installations?

michaeljacobs

I have used this software for many years and am quite happy with it but I cannot use the program on more than one computer. I know I could move across to one of the online applications but I cannot find one that will handle all the functionality of Home and Business program. Can anyone suggest an alternative solution?

Specifically, along with the usual accounting functions I need the ability to have the following on two computers (desktop and laptop):

1. Update stocks on line
2. Update foreign currencies on line
3. Have accounts in more than one currency.
4. Report in multiple currencies.

Only the Reckon Accounts Home & Business, Reckon Accounts Personal Plus, which are both part of the "Reckon Accounts Personal Range" on desktop have the shares tracking function.

Reckon Accounts Hosted has:

1. Update stocks on line
2. Update foreign currencies on line
3. Have accounts in more than one currency.
4. Report in multiple currencies.

Reckon One has:

• Update stocks on line

• Update foreign currencies on line

• Have accounts in more than one currency.

• Report in multiple currencies.

If both your desktop computer and laptop computer have internet access, you could install the Reckon Accounts Home & Business software on the desktop computer along with the data file. Then you can make use of remote-access software to remotely access your desktop computer from your laptop.

You can do a web search for a key phrases like "remote access software for windows", "remote access software tools", "free remote access software tools", and you can explore the many different options available.

There is the built-in "Windows Remote Desktop" or there are products like TeamViewer, Chrome Remote Desktop, PC Anywhere, Anydesk, etc.

Some are free, most are paid-for software.

Thanks folks. I assume that means none of your cloud based programs have the functionality I need.

I use Chrome Remote Desktop a lot - it’s free so you can install on your computers and check it out first
