Default Quickbooks (academic/small business version difference)
Hi,

I am about to purchase QuickBooks software off of ebay and have a question...

Does the academic version operate the same as the small business/retail version or whatever? Is there a difference or limitation?

Hello,

I've ordered Academic Versions of several different mainstream applications (not Quickbook, however) from Costcaptain.com and there was not a difference between the commercial version and the academic version.

Just to compare, check out Costcaptain and read their description. Usually they will advertise that the academic is not different than the commercial version.

I personally recommend purchasing QuickBooks Pro 2008.

Per Academic.com

What is the difference between an "Academic Version" and a "Non-Academic Version" of QuickBooks?

* The purpose of academic software is for students studying accounting who are enrolled in public or private universities or colleges. While the copy they are using appears to be a full working version of QuickBooks Pro, you should consider purchasing a valid non-academic license if they plan to make ongoing use of the software for their business.
* The Academic Version has an installation limit of three. This includes reinstalls. A non-academic version offers more flexibility for reinstallations.
* The Academic Version does not come with 30 days of free tech support.
