Migrating from Desktop to QuickBooks Online

[removing screenshot due to personal identifiable information]
You can't add QBO Simple Start to {company name} with your existing subscription. Try another company or contact customer support for help.

I am getting this message when I try to purchase an online account. Any ideas?

Migrating from Desktop to QuickBooks Online

It's great to have you here in the Community, @BizOwnerTexas24!

 

A cache-related issue is likely causing the inability to add a subscription to a company due to an existing subscription. If this is the case, you can perform some troubleshooting steps. You can use a private or incognito window to rule out cache problems in your browser. Here are the shortcut keys:

 

  • For Mozilla Firefox browser: Ctrl + Shift + P
  • For Google Chrome browser: Ctrl + Shift + N
  • For Safari browser: Command + Shift + N

 

Next, go to the QuickBooks Online (QBO) page and add a subscription again. If it works, you can clear your browser's cache. This removes the webpage data that's causing the issue. If a private browser doesn't work, you can use other installed supported browsers as another option.

 

If the issue persists, I recommend contacting our support team. Our team will take a closer look at the situation and provide a resolution.

 

Additionally, I'm sharing these articles that can guide you through migrating from QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) to QBO:

QB Desktop US version to QB Online US version?

Try converting your sample file from QB Desktop.

QBD 2014 is outdated. You can use the trial version of QB Desktop 2015, 2019, and 2021 to update your file gradually and convert it to QB Online.
