Installation Requirements and System Configuration

We have designated this page on our website for your valued company’s IT department to help you prepare the server and users’ computers according to the requirements of downloading and running the systems so that there will be no interruptions or delays.

IMPORTANT: Network MUST be DOMAIN, not workgroup.
(Please see the Comparison between Domain & Workgroup section to see more about this)

We want to point out that there is a big difference between the requirements for installing Hinawi software as a standalone software and for installing QuickBooks software. The requirements for installing Hinawi software are simple. They do not require any complications or high requirements for the server or the users’ computers. Installing QuickBooks software requires high requirements and large settings on the server and computers, through our experience of more than 20 years. Each new version’s requirements become increasingly complex, especially when the client works remotely on the server.

One of the client’s problems is asking the QuickBooks software to restart the server, displaying a clear message to the client. In this case, the client has no choice but to restart the server.

We ask for your attention and thank you for your cooperation.

This is a Page We Have Created To Let You Know We’re Going to Be Using TeamViewer in The New Customer Installation Sessions about Hinawi Software ERP, Which You Are Going to See.

Please Make Sure You Download TeamViewer as Displayed in this Form.

The Process Which Will be Followed in This Session Is Through The TeamViewer Audio Call, Which Will Enable You To Hear Our Voices and See the Screen As Well. Make Sure You Have A Proper Microphone and Speakers To Be Able To Talk And Hear Clearly. Once You Have Successfully Installed It, We’ll provide You with a Username and Password to access the PC.

Important Notes:

Please Test The Microphone and Speakers From Your Side Before We Begin The Session.

Also, Make Sure You’re Sitting In A Quiet Place And Avoid Any Noise.

Feel Free To Ask Us During The Session In Case You Have Any Questions.

We Will Not Use Zoom or Any Other Method; only TeamViewer Audio and Screen Sharing will be Used. 

Hinawi Software

Before you start performing the Installation process, kindly read and understand the Installation System requirements document, 

Programs will be installed on the Server and the Client Computers depending on the number of licenses Purchased. Moreover, if there is no server, the Company can save Data on any other computer and will therefore be considered the temporary Server. Later, Data will be transferred when the new Server is ready. Also, the Client's User must have "Full Read & write Access on this computer" [Client computers must have full access to the file location].
Server and Client PCs must be added under the same domain and network to avoid connection issues.

Data Security must be the Customer's responsibility; Better make a backup on an external drive as per what we scheduled on the Server.

Operating System

Are you using Windows 10?

Microsoft will no longer provide security updates or support for PCs running Windows 10 after Oct 14, 2025. For this reason, it isn't recommended to use Hinawi Software on Windows 10. The installation of Hinawi Software isn't blocked currently, but it's highly recommended to use a supported version of Windows to make sure your data is secure.

Microsoft currently supports the following operating systems and are compatible with QuickBooks 2024:

  • Windows 11, 64-bit, natively installed
  • Windows Server 2022, Standard and Essentials
  • Windows Server 2019, Standard and Essentials

Comparison between Domain and Workgroup

Domain Network (Recommended): 

Domain is a client/server network where users can log in from any device in the office. Also known as Remote login. It has a centralized administration and all devices can be managed from a centralized device. 

Workgroup Network: 

A workgroup is a peer-to-peer Windows computer network, where users can use their login credentials only on their system and not others. It holds a distributed administration wherein each user can manage his machine independently. Most storage is distributed. Each device has its dedicated storage. 

Difference between Domain and Workgroup:

Domain Network (Recommended)

Workgroup Network

A domain is mainly to transfer and share sensitive and important data only.

A Workgroup is used to share less secure and personal data only due to less security.

A domain is mainly preferred for large public and business networks.

A workgroup is mainly preferred for small local area networks like schools, colleges, buildings, etc.

A domain is used to transfer and share sensitive and important data due to security.

A workgroup is used to share personal data as it is less secure.

A domain can work better for large numbers of devices.

A workgroup works better for fewer computers.

The domain names are provided by the domain controller based on IP address.

In the workgroup, there are no dependencies on any hardware components and server for assigning the name.

Data can be recovered in a domain from the centralized storage.

Data recovery is not possible in a workgroup due to the local storage of each device.

A Domain can be formed using the devices of one or more different network domains and adding all the intended devices to it.

The devices of the same network can only be added to a workgroup.

A domain is a set of values that a column or attribute in a table can contain.

A workgroup is a group of users who collaborate on a project or task within an organization.

Domain focuses on data management and organization

Workgroup focuses on collaboration and teamwork

The purpose of a domain is to define and enforce data integrity and consistency within a database.

The purpose of a workgroup is to facilitate communication, collaboration, and teamwork among members of a group or team.

Domain-level access control can be used to restrict access to specific values within a column or attribute.

Workgroup-level access control can be used to restrict access to specific files, folders, or applications within a team or group.

  

What is the advantage of domain networking?

  • Control all the user accounts from one central location
  • The main benefit of a domain controller is controlling all your user accounts from one location. You can offboard or onboard users quickly, manage their passwords and usernames, and control access to specific files and programs
  • The security measures provided in a workgroup are not as strong as those for a domain
  • Workgroups are not suggested for sensitive data, transmitting networks, or business networks.
  • There is no centralized management of the resources, unlike the domain network.

Protection of Data

How to Protect your Data in Hinawi Software:-

  1. Data is the Customer's responsibility since the User(s) is the one who is engaged in its daily activities. To avoid loss of Data, please do the following:-
  2. Backing up your Data to the cloud is one of the best ways to guard against Data loss.
  3. Cloud Data backup should be done frequently and regularly; this is especially important for mission-critical Data whose loss or corruption can severely hinder normal business processes and operations. Backing up your Data to the cloud allows for easy scalability; your Data storage size can be readily expanded to accommodate your Data storage needs.
  4. Password control is the primary line of defense in safeguarding the Data within your network. Sensitive information should be password protected so only users who know the password can access the Data.
    The password used to secure the Data should not be used for other applications or tools; it should be strong, with a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters, as well as unique.
    In addition, the password should be provided only to individuals who need access to the Data to carry out their job duties. Furthermore, the password should be changed regularly.
  5. Daily backup on external and Internal Hard Disks or the cloud.
  6. Install auto backup software on the server to make daily data backups.
  7. Virus protection software must be installed on Servers and computers.
  8. UPS machine for emergency purposes in case of electricity power shutdown. This will keep servers and client PCs working for some time.
  9. Other safety measures recommended by Customer IT staff or consultants and hardware supplier
  10. Daily, monthly, and yearly Data printing and reports to be kept safe.

QuickBooks Desktop requires a 64-bit Windows operating system and won’t run on 32-bit.
QuickBooks Desktop does not officially support ARM-based CPUs, even on Windows 11. QuickBooks Desktop is primarily designed to run on Windows-based systems with Intel or AMD processors, which means it is not optimized for ARM architecture (whether 32-bit or 64-bit).

Are you using Windows Server 2012?

Microsoft will no longer provide security updates or support for PCs running Windows Standard and Essentials Server 2012 and Server 2012 R2 after Oct 10, 2023.
For this reason, QuickBooks latest version won't support Windows Server 2012 and can’t be installed on it.

Note: Linux and Windows 10 S Mode not supported. QuickBooks requires you to use Windows natively and not through an emulator or virtual environment.

  •  Same for the report  Open Invoices under Customers and Receivables should not have negative amounts.

4. The users in QuickBooks must have  Full Permission to access the activity forms they used in Hinawi ER. For Example:

- Creating new Transaction in Hinawi ERP: -

The user mu s t  h a v e  p er mis sio n  in  QuickBooks to  Create a Transaction for that Transaction (Form Activity).

- For Editing Transaction in Hinawi ERP: -

The user must have permission in QuickBooks to Create, Modify & Delete the Transaction. This is an important point; if no permission is specified above, the transaction will duplicate in QuickBooks.

-   If t h e  user makes "anEdit" write a check and his Setup is "Automatic," the system will delete the original transaction and create the same automatically. To avoid deleting, set a closing date in QB every month.

5. Do not Merge or delete Accounts in the Chart of Account list, vendors, customers, or employees in QuickBooks.

6. Do not convert the names in the `Other Names` list in QuickBooks to the Vendors or Customers or Employees List.

7. To switch between multiple Accounting files in QuickBooks. First, you must close Hinawi ERP and then open the QuickBooks file.

8. By editing transactions in Hinawi ERP, QuickBooks will delete the original one and create a new one. If this transaction is before the set closing dates, QuickBooks will not allow editing in Hinawi ERP. To avoid deleting, set a closing date in QuickBooks every month.

9. Make sure to close all kinds of windows in QuickBooks that affect running integration, e.g., Windows of, Videos, preferences, set closing date, setup users, Company information, Add  \ Edit  Multiple  Entries,  Verify,  Rebuild or clean data and any online QuickBooks services window that opened from  QuickBooks or  Set  Credit`  window in  Accounts Receivables and Payables. And QuickBooks does not open company information under the company menu during integration or posting.

10. If the  User enters the  Transaction through  Hinawi  ERP  and later modifies the same Transaction from QuickBooks, it will not affect Hinawi ER So, the user must do ALL his work from Hinawi to guarantee a match of balances.

11. Hinawi ERP  does not read Multi-Currency from  QuickBooks. Still, when creating a transaction in    Hinawi  ERP,  it will automatically read the currency in QuickBooks, except for the Journal Voucher, where the user must select the currency of each transaction.

12. We recommend Admin user does 'closing of data' in QuickBooks at the end of each month. By this, no transactions can be entered or edited from Hinawi ERP.

13. Ensure the person in charge is the only one to use the Admin user. Do not give the password to another user

14. Do not give Admin passwords to normal users.

15. The date setup in all computers and servers is dd/mm/yyyy. Example: 31/12/2021

Main Causes of QuickBooks Hosting Issue

>>A firewall is blocking the connection between the two computers.
Make sure to turn off the firewall that is blocking the Connection b/w client and Server PC or make an exemption

 >>QuickBooks isn't running with admin permissions.
QuickBooks users must have full permission on the file and its related folders

 >>User doesn't have enough permission on the QuickBooks Data folder.
Client User Must have fully read \ write permission on the server location where the QuickBooks file is stored

  >>User doesn't have administrative privileges on his\her Computer.
The user must be an Administrator on his \ her Computer.
User control Settings must be in never notify mode

  >>.ND and . TLG files are damaged.
These are QuickBooks extensions that store network-related information. If any connection issue comes, rename the file with this extension and Re-run the QuickBooks database Server manager.

 >>One of the Users, by default, opened the file as single user mode, and when he closed the Company file, instances remained in the task Manager
 we need to restart the Server to disconnect the file with the Users rather than all the users to restart their PCs

 >>Setup hosting is enabled on one of the User computers.
Hosting must be enabled only on Server Computer. If any users enabled it by mistake, disable it by going to QuickBooks -> File->Utilities and ensuring it's written "Host Multiuser access."

QuickBooks Software Issues and Solutions

QuickBooks ERROR Code: H202,H205,H505

Detail: when the User tries to switch the QuickBooks Company File to Multiuser mode, the system will throw an error with error code H202, H205 like the following screen

If you see Error H202 or H505 (or H101 and H103) when you try to switch to multiuser mode, we're here to help. These errors mean something is blocking the multiuser connection to your server. We'll show you how to fix the issue.

Run the QuickBooks Database Server Manager on your server with the QuickBooks Tool Hub.

Step 1: Download and install the QuickBooks Tools Hub on your server

The QuickBooks Tool Hub helps fix common errors. You'll need to close QuickBooks to use the tool hub. For the best experience, we recommend you use Tool Hub on Windows 10, 64-bit.

  1. Close QuickBooks.
  2. Download the most recent version (1.5.0.0) of the QuickBooks Tool Hub. Please save the file somewhere you can easily find it (like your Downloads folder or Windows desktop). Note: If you've installed Tool Hub before, you can find out which version you have. Select the Home tab. The version will be on the bottom.
  3. Open the File you downloaded (QuickBooksToolHub.exe).
  4. Follow the on-screen steps to install and agree to the terms and conditions.
  5. Double-click the icon on your Windows desktop to open the tool hub when the installation finishes.

Note: If you can't find the icon, search in Windows for QuickBooks Tool Hub and select the program.

Step 2: From the Tool Hub, run the QuickBooks Database Server Manager on your server

Your server computer is the one that stores your QuickBooks Company file(s). Your other computers connected to your network are your workstations.

  1. From the QuickBooks Tools Hub, select Network Issues.
  2. Select QuickBooks Database Server Manager. If QuickBooks isn't on your server, it'll prompt you to install it.
  3. Inside the QuickBooks Database Server Manager, select Start Scan if you see your Company file folder(s). If you don't, Browse to the location of your company file and then select Start Scan.

  4. The QuickBooks Database Server Manager will repair your firewall permissions automatically when the scan finishes; select Close.
  5. Open QuickBooks on each workstation where you see Error H202. Select File and Switch to Multiuser Mode. If you use your server computer as a workstation, check it too.

Step 3: From the Tool Hub, run the File Doctor.

  1. From the tool hub, select Company File Issues.

  2. Select Run QuickBooks, File Doctor. It can take up to one minute for the file doctor to open. (Note: If the QuickBooks File Doctor doesn't open, search for QuickBooks Desktop File Doc and open it manually.)
  3. In QuickBooks File Doctor, select your company file from the dropdown menu. If you don't see your File, select Browse and search to find your File.
  4. Select Check your File (middle option only) and then Continue.
  5. Enter your QuickBooks admin password and then select Next.

Everything is fixed if your workstations can go into multiuser mode without issues.

If you still see Error H202, continue to our other solutions.

Fix Error H202 manually

Solution 1: Check the services on your server

Make sure QuickBooks services are running on your server computer. Follow these steps to check QuickbooksDBXX. Then repeat them for QBCFMonitorService.

If you still see Error H202, move on to Solution 2.

Solution 2: Add services to your Windows admin group on your server

If you haven't already, give QuickBooksDBXX and QBCFMonitorService admin permissions on your server computer. See set Windows access permissions to share company files for instructions.

When you're done, open QuickBooks on your server computer and workstations. If you still see Error H202, move on to Solution 3.

Fix Error H101, H303, and H505

If you see Error H101, H303, or H505, one or more of your workstations is set to be the server for QuickBooks. Your server (the computer hosting your Company files) should be the only one to host multiuser mode.

The Host Multiuser Access option should be turned off on your workstations. These computers on your network don't host your Company files. Your server computer should be the only one hosting.

 Note: You can do these steps before opening a Company file.
  1. Open QuickBooks Software on any workstations where you see H101, H303, or H505
  2. Don't open your company file. Instead, select the File Menu and hover over Utilities.
  3. If you see the Host Multiuser Access option, don't select it. Move on to the next workstation. This one isn't causing the problem.

If Stop Hosting Multiuser Access is an option, select it.

  1. Repeat these steps on all workstations where you see Error H101, H303, or H505.

After you check your workstations, move on to your server computer. The server is the computer that usually hosts your Company files.

  1. Open QuickBooks on your server computer.
  2. Open the File Menu and hover over Utilities.
  3. If Host Multiuser Access is an option, select it. If Stop Hosting Multiuser Access is an option, don't select it.
