In a 2.x/3.x environment, to hold off the initial snapshot, consider utilizing the Optimize.exe tools. We could find no way to script the licensing process. For Non-Persistent desktops that means that we need to hold off taking the initial system snapshot until we can log on to the machine and create the QuickBooks license.

Since QuickBooks licenses to the volume serial number of the machine it runs on, it must be licensed separately on each system. When finished, reboot if required and finalize the layer.Ĭonsiderations for Non-Persistent Desktops
#INSTALL QUICKBOOKS UPDATE#
Open QuickBooks, select Help and then Update QuickBooks.
#INSTALL QUICKBOOKS SOFTWARE#
To update the software Add a version to the layer. Open the following directory and remove the Data Protect and Update Agent It is likely that after an update this routing must be performed again. Quicken will launch this file instead of the actual. Next, create a txt file with one line REM replaces IntuitDataProtect.exe Then rename this file to IntuitDataProtect.exe Navigate to %systemdrive%\Program Files\Common Files\Intuit\DataProtect and rename the InuitDataProect.exe to. Click the processes tab, find QBIDPService in the list, right click it and select End Process. Right click the Task Bar and select Task Manager. Unless you have a specific need for this application then you should disable it from startup.įirst, disable the service QBIDPService. There is normally no way to disable this feature from running. This feature is for an online backup service that must be purchased separately from Intuit. HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\Intuit SyncManager Navigate to and delete the following key from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. Press start and type “regedit” without quotes, then press enter. Unless you have a specific need for this application then you should disable it from startup. Sync manager is used to integrate online services. This creates the dat file used when the application opens to ensure the software has been registered. This will reset the licensing back to request licensing on first use after the layer is deployed.Ĭ:\ProgramData\Intuit\Entitlement Client\v8\EntitlementDataStore.ecmlĪfter QuickBooks is installed and updated use the Help\Register QuickBooks to register the software. When the system comes back up you will have to delete the following file. If the “close and reopen QuickBooks to apply updates.” window continues to pop up, try restarting the computer or killing all running processes that start with QB.Īfter updating QuickBooks it will restart and App Layering will REBIC. You will be prompted to install the updates. After the installation is complete, open QuickBooks, select Help and choose “Update QuickBooks”.Īfter running the update command, close and reopen QuickBooks. Then review the section for installing QuickBooks into a layer to determine if some of the other recommendations make sense for your installation. If installing QuickBooks into the UEP just install by running the normal setup process. For example while still in development/testing “1.0 12-12-14-2014 QA ONLY”, but when ready for production “1.0 12-12-2014”. Use naming that will allow you to differentiate versions appropriately. For versions remember that when choosing a layer you can see the version name but not the version description.
#INSTALL QUICKBOOKS PRO#
Unidesk recommends including the OS Type and OS bit level in the name, for Example QuickBooks Pro 2014 Win7x32. See the Non-persistent section later in the article for more details on how to handle licensing with Non Persistent desktops. This licensing method has the most impact on Non-Persistent Desktops. Therefore, if a layer is created and licensed during creation, then deployed to different desktops, the license cannot be unencrypted on the new desktop and the system must be licensed again.


When Unidesk creates a new desktop, Microsoft generates a new unique volume serial number. When the license is created an encrypted file is stored that can only be unencrypted if the volume serial number matches the system it was installed on. QuickBooks is an application that licenses and registers to the volume serial number of the local hard disk.
