Intuit QuickBooks Desktop software support policies

At Intuit, we support you and your small business needs. Here is how we can help you get back to business.

Issues with free support for twelve months after you register your product

We offer free help for these issues for twelve months after you register your product. This is only for products we support. You can review our Service Discontinuation Policy for details.

Note: Any issue not listed in this section requires a support plan for live help.

Technical support guidance on:

• Download QuickBooks Desktop or install from the CD.
• Questions about your installation, as well as if you need to install again on one or more computers or if you need to install on a new computer. The computer must meet system requirements.
• If you need to upgrade to the current version or latest release of your QuickBooks software.
• If you need to connect QuickBooks Desktop Point of Sale with QuickBooks Financial Software for the first time.

Free help regardless of product

We can help you with these issues for free:

• If you have problems when you register your product.
• If you need help with administrator passwords, or if you lost your password or need to change or remove it.

Note: Some password issues may require escalation or internal repairs by Intuit. In these cases, the file must be in a product we support. There's no charge to help with the password issue, but you may have to purchase a product we support.

• If you need help to upgrade to the current version or latest release of your product.
• All issues for Intuit Education Program users.
