Downgrading to QBD Premier is not an option for you. If you want to keep QBD 2023, you'll need to purchase a new license separately before October 3 and host it on another provider. You can purchase a new license through partners to get a perpetual discounts. They will support QBD 2023 through May 2026 but you will still have to pay the renewal fee every year.

Hi there, jroneill.

Allow me to chime in and elaborate on some things about upgrading QuickBooks Desktop and its license option.

You appear to have a subscription-based license, and yes, in previous versions of QuickBooks Desktop, we offered a one-time payment license that was valid for three years. However, those are no longer available, and in new versions of QuickBooks Desktop, such as the one you're using, we introduced the subscription-based license, which must be renewed annually, as @Fiat mentioned above.

So, to answer your question, no, you don't necessarily need to upgrade to the new version, but it is one of the many benefits of having a subscription-based license. This includes access to the most recent version of QuickBooks Desktop and new features, as well as technical support, data backups, and customer service while utilizing remote hosting services like Right Networks.

For more information on QuickBooks Desktop's cancellation policies, license agreement, and renewal, I've added the following articles:

• QuickBooks Desktop cancelation policies
• License agreement changes for the QuickBooks Desktop subscription plan - 2023
• Renew your subscription or use view-only mode in QuickBooks Desktop 2023
