What does "natively installed" mean, when referring to OS System Requirements to run QuickBooks? Does it mean a "non-upgraded" windows OS?
Hi Mandi,
No, this statement means that the OS must be installed on the drive that you are loading your program to. In other words, most people have their OS loaded on their C drive and they load programs to that. There are instances where you would load a program to a drive with no OS but that is reserved for different systems (and people who use them, like me.)

Ozzy

die,
why does thuis matter- ? server came from dell w a tiny c drive- so I install my apps to d drive......2011 was installed there and works fine (hate it when vendor does that- yes I should have reformatted but I did not)
agree with you completely!!! this kind of brainless or dogmatic approach is most annoying, because you "don't" expect this to happen, and when it happens for 'no apparent reason', it takes forever to find out!
my experience, I am working in China, and just because my region is set to China in my computer prevented me from transferring my file from Mac to my PC.. just because..and had to go through the web and look and search and try........ this is so absurd!!!!
Actually, it means that the operating system (Windows or Linux) must be installed natively on the hardware, rather than in a virtual machine such as VMware, VirtualBox, Xen or Microsoft Virtual Server.
Although real world experiences indicate that QuickBooks Enterprise (and other editions) run fine in a virtual machine as long as it has enough resources, Intuit does not officially support such a deployment.
Thank you for this response, which explains why I received the "must be natively installed" message to begin with. I was trying to install on a VM. I ran into problems with it, and ended up going another route to accomplish our goal.
All the answers are wrong. I don't know why intuit would link the definition to a discussion thread for people to guess.
According to QuickBooks “natively installed” means that the hardware and software should be from the same region. So a computer purchased in the US must have a US version of Windows. I don't know why this makes a difference. This is from intuit tech support.
BTW: I’ve been running QBE 11,12,13 in a VM guest (hyper-v 2008R2) and terminal server with no issues.
Can I install QBE 13 on a VM in Windows Azure? And install the software to a storage account?
