QB 2023 upgrade

They will support QBD 2022 until May 2025. If you don't have any issues with QBD 2022 or need any of the features available in QBD 2023, you should wait to upgrade your version at least until next year's Q2.

Hello, Big-Al.

No. You don't need to upgrade annually. QuickBooks 2022 will be discontinued on May 31, 2025, since each version has a 3-year life cycle.

You might see a pop-up when you launch QuickBooks Desktop stating that a new software update is available. The system will suggest this to keep your software updated, which will help you take advantage of new functionality and protect you from potential technical problems in the future.

If you'd like, you can disable the QuickBooks update service notification/pop by following the steps below.

Step 1: Turn off the Automatic Updates.

1. Go to the Help menu.
2. Select Update QuickBooks Desktop.
3. Click the Options tab.
4. Choose No under Automatic Update.
5. Once done, hit Close.

Step 2: Turn off Software pop-up messages.

1. From the Edit menu, select Preferences.
2. From the Preferences window, click General on the left column
3. Go to the My Preferences tab.
4. Check the box next to Turn off pop-up messages for products and services.
5. Once done, hit OK.

Hi, I have QB Premier MFG - 2020, and I am receiving constant upgrade messages. It seems like I am being forced to upgrade or cannot run my software. Is that correct?  Or will my software be limited. I understand you will no longer support 2020 but wondering if there some way to stop the messages and allow to continue to use the 2020 software. Also, my QB has begun to lock up after 15/20 minutes of program use. This has coincided with the upgrade messages... nefarious?   Thanks, John

Just ignore the message. As long as you are connecting with internet, a new message will appear randomly. What do you mean with "QB has begun to lock up after 15/20"? 

Hello there. I'm here to share some information about this.

I agree with Fiat, in addition to that you can click the X or No, thanks buttons to close the upgrade messages since the option to stop them is unavailable.

On the other hand, you can enable the pop-up blocker in your browser to prevent pop-ups from showing up. Here's how:

1. In your browser, select the Lock icon located at the left of the address bar.
2. Next, select Site Settings (Google Chrome) or Permission for this site (Mozilla browser).
3. Hover to the Pop-ups and redirects section, and choose Block from the drop-down menu.

Then to fix the lock-up issue of your QBDT, we can run the Run Quick Fix My Program in the QuickBooks Tool Hub. Let me guide you on how:

1. Download the most recent version (1.6.0.3) of the QuickBooks Tool Hub.
2. Open the file you downloaded (QuickBooksToolHub.exe).
3. Follow the on-screen steps to install and agree to the terms and conditions.
4. When the installation finishes, double-click the icon on your Windows desktop to open the tool hub.
5. In the QuickBooks Tool Hub, select Program Problems.
6. Select Quick Fix My Program.
7. Start QuickBooks Desktop and open your data file.

To avoid getting notice /pop-up when QB2023 is opened the checking  the "avoid pop up meessages" at preferences will not stop  "uPgrade to newer version" annoying pop up . You can click 'NO' or the'X' everytime
