You can check for updates within the QuickBooks software or manually download and install the latest version from the Intuit website.

Monitoring the server: The Database Server Manager provides tools to monitor the status of the server hosting the QuickBooks company files. You can check the number of users connected, the status of the company files, and other relevant information.
