I'm here to share insights about product discontinuation in QuickBooks, @bobbye.
The ability to access historical data in QuickBooks Desktop depends on whether you're using a stand-alone version or a subscription-based product.
For a single purchased QuickBooks Desktop license, you can still access your company data even if the software is unsupported. However, you'll be unable to continue receiving the security updates and online services, such as the following:
- QuickBooks Desktop Payroll Services
- Live Support
- Online Backup
- Online Banking
If you're using a subscription-based specifically for QuickBooks Desktop 2022 and below, you won't be able to access the product unless you resubscribe.
To check if you're using a subscription type or not, simply follow these steps:
- Go to Company and select My Company.
- Review the Product Name under the Product Information section.
If you're seeing a Plus word on the product name, that means you're using a subscription-based. If not, then you're using a stand-alone version.
