Quickbooks Desktop Pro 2016 to be discontinued in June 2023

Hello YvonneCharman, Thanks for posting on the Community page, Yes this does mean you will no longer have access or be able to use your account come the end of June 2023, as ALL UK DESKTOP LICESNES are being discontinued. So you will either need to move to our online product or to a different software. 

I'm retired and can't afford to pay for a subscription plan for an old software package that I have bought and that is perfectly adequate.  How are you planning on stopping me using my owned software package?    Have you embedded a kill switch in the software during updates?  What if I re-install the software on an old laptop that I have disconnected from the internet?

We hear you, Yvonne.

Here's what you need to know about QuickBooks Desktop service discontinuation.

If you don't use any of the add-on services on QBDT, your product will continue to work for you, however, support will no longer be possible.

Moreover, you'll need to upgrade to QBDT to the latest version to access support.

Also, your access to multi-currency, and security & compliance updates will be discontinued. Then, you can't reinstall the software on your old laptop without the Internet.

For additional questions about QuickBooks Desktop subscription, never hesitate to reply to this post. I'll be willing to lend a hand. Keep safe!

Are you sure about this statement? I can understand about this policy but one of your colleagues seems to have a different opinion 8)
