Hello Community
I would like to know if there it is possible to downgrade my company from quickbooks accountant 2018 to accountant 2013.
Thank you
Solved! Go to Solution.
Greetings @rbogere, it is my pleasure to provide you with information regarding the process of downgrading your current version of QuickBooks Desktop Accountant from 2018 to 2013.
QuickBooks Desktop undertakes annual upgrades to its services to ensure that users have access to the latest features and to maintain operational continuity. However, if you need to downgrade your QBDT Accountant 2018 to 2013, it is not possible to do so. Downgrading your company file may result in the loss of certain features or data that are unique to QuickBooks Accountant 2018.
Additionally, I'll be sharing these resources that will help you with file compatibility and upgrading your company file to the latest version:
Don't hesitate to post again here if you have other questions or concerns with QuickBooks tasks and navigations. I'm always around and happy to help. Stay safe.
Is your file created in QB Desktop 2018 but your accountant is using QB Desktop 2013?
Ask your accountant to use the trial version of QB Desktop 2018 Pro as a workaround.

Hi, can someone help us with our concern?
We would like to know if we will not be able to Restore our backup (QBB) QBES Platinum to QBES Silver (downgrade) version? What are the Pros & Cons if we downgrade from QBES Platinum to QBES Silver?
Please we need your help regarding this matter.
We thank you for this in advance.
If you don't need the payroll module, you should downgrade to QB Desktop Premier Plus instead. How many user license do you need?
Hi, we need 7 licenses for 7 users , that is why we need the QBES.
We also reside here in the Philippines Sir/Ma'am. And we ask our third-party person to downgrade our Platinum to Silver QBES. But they said that if we do that, our current QBB (backup) copy of our recent Database won't be restored using the QBES Silver edition. Is this true?
You may have 2 options
1. QB Desktop 2024 QBES Silver subscription for 7 users
2. QB Desktop 2024 Premier Accountant for 10 users
notes.
1. If you have QBES 2024 Platinum subscription now, you can restore the backup file on QBES 2024 Silver without any conversion process. Unfortunately that 3rd party person didn't share the correct information.
2. You can purchase a 3rd party service to downgrade data from QBES to Pro/Premier/Mac.
3. When is your renewal due date for QBES Platinum subscription?
Hi,
As of now we have this:
1. 2023 Platinum QBES (QBB Backup Copy).
2. We will need to Downgrade from QBES Platinum to QBES Silver effective February 16, since our Due date for Renewal would be on February 15, 2024 (we will be using 7 licenses, so QBES Silver is still good for our company file).
Our next step is this:
3. We need to Restore our 2023 QBES Platinum (QBB) to 2024 QBES Silver by February 16.
Are we still able to Open our backup file or not? Because it's our 3rd-party person said so.
We are so confused right now. Because we really need to downgrade. And we cannot redo our recent company file because we have lots of transactions. Please enlighten us.
1. Make sure you can access your CAMPS as the Primary Contact and cancel your subscription license on Feb 14 at the latest. Otherwise you may need extra efforts to claim the refund.
2. You can restore your backup file created on QBES 2023 on QBES 2024. If you are not sure, you can install the trial version of QB Desktop 2024 to prove it.
3. I am not sure whether your 3rd party person is not trustworthy or simply ignorant. You can click on Fiat Lux's profile name and you will find their website address to send emails. They can help you to obtain the new license of QB Desktop 2024 and other required services.
Hi,
We are so thankful for this. You are so cool helping us with our concern. But to just Clarify this one.
1. That we are still able to Restore our Backup company File that is 2023 Platinum QBES using 2024 Silver QBES? It doesn't vary weather our file is 2023 Platinum going down to 2024 Silver?
Because that is what they are saying to us right now. I don't know if they are just blocking us to downgrade or what not.
Do you guys have the link for 2023 QBES Silver edition so we could try to restore our file for sample? Please
Contact me in private and we will share the trial version of QBES 2023.

1. Secure a backup file with the original setting
2. Turn-off any advanced setting you have now
3. Secure another backup file with standard feature and you are ready to restore it on QBES Silver later.
Hi,
Wow, copy on this one. We will do it today asap. We will message regarding the progress. Thank you! Thank you very much.
Hi @Fiat Lux - ASIA ,
We have simulated our database late last night. And upon doing all the instructions by Turning OFF any Advanced feature of our current 2023 QBES Platinum Accountant Edition and use a simple or standard setup. We then made a backup copy and restored it using 2024 Enterprise Trial version (Contractors).
And we Restored it successfully without any error and still have the Standard setup of QBES.
Is it a Good Proof?
Is it a Good Proof?
For sure.
Hi,
Can someone give us please an idea on how to check if my License Key is Legit for 2024 QBES ?
What are the possible measures to check?
Thank you everyone.
Have a nice day ahead!
Thanks for sharing more details about the situation, @jezzyjay. I'm here to help you how you can verify if the license number is legit.
In this case, if you've purchased a license directly from Intuit there will be an email confirmation for the license and product number. If not, you sign in to camps.intuit.com to check some information about the license number. Also, if you've installed QuickBooks hit F2 on your keyboard to see the product information.
However, if you can't find any information on the scenarios above, I would recommend reaching out to our Technical Support Team. They can pull up your account and verify the license and product number. Here's how:
You can also visit the CAMPS website to see and manage your account and license information. Here's an article for more details: View, Manage or Update Your Intuit Account in CAMPs.

Why do you hesitate?
Hello. I am trying to figure out if I can downgrade my Desktop edition to the most basic version as i don't use any of the features that are included in the edition that I currently have. I just have to make sure that i will be able to at least see all past invoices made in my current edition.
Do you need to downgrade your company file from QB Desktop Enterprise to Pro?
You should contact @Fiat Lux - ASIA for assistance. They may also share another option if you don't need to use the payroll feature.
Choosing the correct QuickBooks subscription ensures you can work on your file seamlessly while utilizing the needed features, Small Town Business Owner. I'll help you change your plan.
We have two ways to downgrade a QuickBooks Desktop program (by edition or version). I've listed the details below to ensure you can switch to the right plan and migrate your data.
If you're using Enterprise and planning to move to the Pro or Premiere version, I recommend buying a third-party conversion tool to help you convert your file and access it without any data loss.
Once done, purchase Pro a Plus or Premiere Plus subscription from us. To help you decide which version is right for your business, I suggest contacting our QuickBooks Sales Team by visiting our Plans and Pricing page. For a stand-alone license, you can look and buy it outside from our authorized vendors or affiliated sellers.
If you want to downgrade to a different edition, you can still open your files with any other edition without affecting the data. I recommend visiting our Plans and Pricing page to purchase a new one.
Additionally, it is recommended to secure a backup copy of your company file. It'll serve as a save point for your accounting data that you can restore when any issues occur. Then, run and customize your financial reports to view different perspectives on how your business is doing.
This thread's still open, so feel free to add other concerns about downgrading QuickBooks and moving your books. If you need help with vendor entries, reports, and settings, let us know, and my team and I will chime in again to assist.
