Add an application to QuickBooks Web Connector

Question

I am trying to add an application to QuickBooks Web Connector. I have QuickBooks Point of Sale 2013 trial version installed. When an add a .qwc file to the Web Connector, the following happens:

1. Authorize new web service pop up opens - I grant access to the web service by clicking ok.
2. A pop up comes showing the available POS server: this list is empty. I press ok
3. Now I am navigated to a pop up asking some details regarding the company data and server workstation. The pop up contains the following information:

Please enter the computer name of server workstation and company name
I want to connect to the following data : What to fill here?
Server Workstation computer name : What to fill here?

Can anybody let me know what should be the values for these fields ?

Note: Both the Web Connector and QBPOS are installed on my local machine.

Answer 1

This is happenning because you have the "trial" version and you need to get a real one and make sure to get a $99 dev license to activate it.

To sum up all the helpful comments and answers by William Lorfing:

• a) Needed to get a license for devs from https://developer.intuit.com/nfr/purchase
• b) Needed to download the right version of QBPOS that actually accepts and activates with given license.
• c) Needed to have QBPOS running and a company created already before attempting QBWC magic.
• d) Needed to be in network mode which gets enabled when you use this menu option: "File > Switch Company File to Multi User mode" in QBPOS.
