BillQuick Online Customers receive an automatic notification for free upgrade from one version to another. The prompt is displayed upon login for the Account Owner and Account Administrator.
Normally the automatic upgrade process can take a few minutes to an hour, depending upon the size of your company file. Prior to executing the automatic upgrade, we recommend you read the following best practices:
Tip: Schedule your upgrade at a time when no activity will take place on your local BillQuick data file and BillQuick Online. It is recommended to send email notification or memo to all your BillQuick local users and BillQuick Online users and let them know about the date and time when you plan to upgrade.
