QuickBooks Program Releases - Updates

With each QuickBooks product, there are occasional maintenance releases or patches as Intuit adds new features or fixes some bugs that have been reported. You can download updates for your QuickBooks products at support.quickbooks.intuit.com/support/productupdates.aspx .

To check which release you currently have installed, start QuickBooks and then press the F2 key on the top row of the keyboard (or press the control key and the number 1 at the same time - CTRL+1). This will show you a great deal of information about QuickBooks and the current file you have open (if you have a file open) - including the release number at the very top of the window:

In the example here, I can see that I'm running QuickBooks 2008 with release 5 (the most current release as of the time of this post).
