Install the Accounting Server (Optional)

If you are integrating with QuickBooks, Peachtree, or Sage 50 you will need to install the ESC Accounting Server. The computer you select for this must be able to open and run the accounting software. It is not necessary to place this on the server, although that is usually the best option.

Note: This program replaces the older ESC Peachtree Server or ESC QuickBooks Server that you might have used with earlier versions of ESC.

  1. Close any open programs.
  2. Click the button below to download the installation package - ESC Accounting Server Install 12.exe. Save the file somewhere you can find it easily (such as your desktop or download folder).


  3. When the download is complete, start the installation by double clicking the downloaded file.
  4. Accept all the defaults as you go through the wizard. You do not need to do anything during the course of the wizard other than click the Next button.
  5. Run the ESC Accounting Server by going to the Windows Start button and selecting Programs | dESCO | ESC Accounting Server.
  6. The ESC Accounting Server will remember your previous settings so you can connect it normally at this point. Nothing special needs to be done to your accounting software.
