Let me see if I understand. You purchased QB Premier but the disk was labled
Enterprise and you went ahead and installed it any how. After intalling the
product you and every staff menber that started the program clearly saw that
it was indeed the Enterprise version because like each version a splash
screen pops up when you start the program and displays a description of the
version you are running.

Dispite the obvious you then went ahead and entered data into the program
and now that you can't run it in mulit-user mode and you put the blame on
Intuit.

I don't work for Intuit. I do work in IT and many products I've used over
the years have changed names. If you called tech support twice and they
assured you, you had the right product after you've read them the license ID
and the disk what would you say? How many people would you call before you
were convinced otherwise - thanks for your helpful post.

So you assumed that Intuit changed the name from Premier to Enterprise? Dude
you screwed up, admit it. Or is it possible that you thought you were
getting the higher priced version for a bargin basement price? Could it be
that greed was at play here?

Again - I asked them for a premier license - they said I could use
enterprise - not what I wanted - I just wanted the data converted back to
premier - You really don't read, do you - done talking to the peanut
gallery.

What they heard you ask for and what you asked for appear to be different
animals.
