How to add next year's Lacerte to Rightworks for Intuit Hosting

Before you start:

• This article will help you add Lacerte 2025 to your Rightworks remote desktop. If you don't use Lacerte's Intuit Hosting, see How to download and install Lacerte, instead.
• Use the red Logoff button on your remote desktop to sign out of the hosted environment, and have any other users in your firm for whom you're installing Lacerte 2025 sign out, too.
• If you need to install prior year software, refer to the Installing apps section of Lacerte Intuit Hosting onboarding and setup guide.

Follow these steps to add Lacerte 2025 to the hosted environment:

1. Sign in to the Rightworks AppHub.
   • Users with the User (no catalog) role will need the Account Owner or someone with the Account Admin role to install apps for them.
2. Select My Apps.
   • If you are the Account Owner or an Account Admin and you want to install for a user instead:
     • Go to Admin Controls ⮕ Users and select the name (or email address) for the user. This will take you to their apps page instead.
3. Go to the Cloud Apps tab.
4. In the Available Applications section, locate 2025 Lacerte.
5. Select Install.
   • The installation will begin, and when it's complete, you'll see 2025 Lacerte in the Installed Applications section.

When you next login to the hosted environment, you'll see the Lacerte shortcut for the new year on your desktop. The first user for your firm to sign in to the new year of Lacerte will be prompted to select the business so the prep file can be downloaded.

If you were logged in to your hosted environment at the time the program was being installed, you'll receive an error when you open the newly installed year of Lacerte:

"This app has been blocked by your system administrator. Contact your system administrator for more info."

You'll need to log off appropriately. Use the red Logoff button to sign out of the hosted environment. If you are missing this icon, right-click on the Start/Windows icon, select Shut down or sign out and choose Sign out.
