Hello there, @Bookkeeper73.
Thank you for adding a post here in the Community page. I'd be pleased to help share information so you'll be able to transfer the license to your name and upgrade QuickBooks to 2019.
If you want to transfer the license under your name, you may get in touch with our QuickBooks Desktop Support Team for the secure process. On the other hand, if you wish to upgrade your QuickBooks, you can purchase QBDT from the website or call our Support Team to create a new account and set of accounts.
For the support's contact information, you may check it here: Contact the QuickBooks Desktop Customer Support Team.
You may check this helpful article for more information about upgrading QuickBooks: Upgrade to a new QuickBooks Desktop version.
You're always free to add a comment below if you have any other QuickBooks concerns. I'll be glad to help you!
