Q: How does StudioPlus Spectra link with QuickBooks®?

Using Spectra you'll create all of your clients, invoices, deposits, and payments. Then Spectra gives you the option to export your daily deposits and sales to a file that can be imported into QuickBooks, allowing you to track your accounts receivable and sales tax reports in Spectra and then utilize all the accounting features of QuickBooks without any double entry. Note: At the current time the QuickBooks Online products do not offer the import feature required for this integration, the QuickBooks desktop software is required.

Q: What are the system requirements for running StudioPlus Spectra?

StudioPlus Spectra will run best on a Microsoft XP Pro, Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 operating system with at least 512 MB of RAM, a Pentium 3 processor, and 120 MB free space on your hard drive. If you have a dedicated server storing your StudioPlus Spectra data files, we recommend using at least a Windows 2003 Server (or newer) operating system. If you are running StudioPlus Spectra on a network, we DO NOT recommend using a Windows XP Home operating system on any of your workstations. Earlier versions of Windows are no longer supported by Microsoft and do not support the components needed to run Spectra.
