Intuit occasionally creates a maintenance release for an existing version of QuickBooks. There are often several releases for a given version of QuickBooks.

To check the current release of your QuickBooks program:

With QuickBooks open, hold down the Control key and press the number 1 (CTRL+1). Use the number one key at the top of your keyboard rather than the one on the numbers pad to the right.

QuickBooks will display a Product Information window. The first line of the Product Information window gives the QuickBooks product followed by the release, for example, QuickBooks for Windows Version 2000 Release R4.
