Question

Subscription fees

The non-profits for which I serve as an unpaid accountant/bookkeeper can no longer afford their pro-rata shares of the QB Plus renewal fee. Nor can they afford to use QBO.  That is not an Intuit problem.

My concern is that I continue to be able to use my QB Plus as I have. Of course, I expect no updates. I do expect assistance fixing of existing bugs and glitches. After the many years I have been a QB subscriber it would be more than unseemly to loose the functionality I have paid for.

Consider switching to old QB Desktop with a non subscription license.

Thank you.

I appreciate you sharing this, and your dedication to these non-profits does not go unnoticed. To set the right expectations, once your QuickBooks Desktop Plus subscription ends, the software will transition to a view-only mode, and bug fixes along with technical support will no longer be available.

 

As a proactive step, we recommend exporting your financial data before your current subscription term ends to ensure you always have permanent access to your records.

 

If the non-profits you support are looking for more affordable options, we recommend checking out the QuickBooks pricing page for the latest available plans that may better fit their needs.

 

Additionally, as suggested by SIAB, switching to an older QuickBooks Desktop version with a one-time purchase license is also an alternative worth considering. However, please note that older versions have limited support and will eventually reach end-of-life. If you do decide to make the switch, make sure to back up your company file first to ensure a smooth transition and avoid any data loss.
