Quick guides to the tasks people ask about most.
Keep Enterprise current for the newest features and security fixes. In QuickBooks, go to the Help menu → Update QuickBooks Desktop → Update Now, then select Get Updates. When it finishes, restart QuickBooks and choose to install the update. You can also turn on automatic updates so it stays current on its own.
Locked out of the admin account? On the company login screen, choose I forgot my password and follow the verification steps tied to the Intuit account on file (your CAMPS account). Once your identity is confirmed, you can set a new admin password. If you’re stuck, our team or Intuit support can help you recover access securely.
CAMPS — Intuit’s Customer Account Management Portal — is where you manage your subscription. Sign in at the CAMPS portal with your Intuit account to view your license and product numbers, get download links, manage users, and update billing details. It’s the home base for everything about your Enterprise subscription.
Protect your data with regular backups. Go to File → Back Up Company → Create Local Backup, choose a safe location (ideally a separate drive or the cloud), and save. Even better, set up scheduled backups so a current copy is always saved automatically — your insurance against a lost PC or file issue.
If your file has grown very large over the years, the Condense Data utility (under File → Utilities) can reduce its size by summarizing older transactions. Always make a backup first, since condensing removes some historical detail — and consider asking our team or your accountant before running it, so you keep exactly the history you need.
At year-end, reconcile your bank and credit-card accounts, review key reports, prepare 1099s for vendors, then set a closing date and password (under Edit → Preferences → Accounting) to lock prior-period data. Finish with a backup. This keeps your finalized year protected from accidental changes.
