Below is the reason am asking for Release 5 Quickbooks Premier 2016 Uk version. Any time i tried to restore the data am facing below error. I need to restore and get the data before moving online. Any other version of release if you use will bring below error because it will need to update and once it updates it will abort and crash. I was having release r5 but crashed. Any one with release5 please.

Kindly i have my data which is corrupt because of network and i needed that specific release so that i will be able to restore the data and upgrade to online version. reason being any release other than r5 will ask for an update and immediately you try to update it will abort. Please see below error when i try to use any other release. Don't mention of tool hub to use to repair i have tried several times but could not work.

It seems your file is indeed corrupted as you expected. As a workaround, use the Online Tool to convert your data directly to QBO. You don't need to bother upgrading your QB Desktop version.

If the tool failed to convert your data, you don't have any choice but to fix your company file first. Contact @Fiat Lux - ASIA and ask them to fix it. They won't mind refunding your payment in full if the damage is too severe.

Not Possible. Please see below error. That is why i asked for R5 premier uk version 2016

@Benard Bill 

Below is the reason am asking for Release 5 Quickbooks Premier 2016 Uk version.

I missed seeing your country's version. You cannot use the Online tool as I mentioned before as it only applies to the US version. You will have to contact Fiat Lux as I suggested earlier to repair your files.

I can see how you want to have the R5 update released in restoring your data, Benard. 

Let me share some updates about how you can obtain the release update that you want. 

The latest release that we can offer to QuickBooks Desktop Premier 2016 is R17, as the older release is no longer available on our website. However, you may be able to find the necessary patches or updates online through various blog posts and community forums. 

Since QuickBooks Desktop Premier 2016 UK is no longer actively supported, I recommend reaching out to our Support team for the most up-to-date information on options for users of discontinued QuickBooks Desktop versions. They may be able to provide guidance on potential migration paths or limited support options, even though the R5 release you originally needed is no longer available.

You can contact our Support team by following these steps:

1. Go to the Help menu.

I am switching to a new computer and I still have my QB Pro 2008 on my old computer next to me, but I don't know where to get the download link to install on the new computer. I have my Lic # &  Prod ID #.  Years ago you could be sent a link to download.  Any possibilities for the download link for QB Pro 2008 Desktop version?

Hello, VW1957. The oldest version of QuickBooks Desktop Pro you can download is the 2010 version. Let's go over the details below.

Since QuickBooks Desktop follows a three-year life cycle, it is advisable to purchase the latest version of QuickBooks Desktop to effectively manage your business with our software.

Before purchasing a new version of QuickBooks Desktop, back up your company file on QuickBooks Pro 2008. This will make it easy to transfer your company file to QuickBooks Desktop 2024.

Once you're ready to purchase our latest version, you can directly go to this website: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/desktop/pro/.

You might also consider trying our trial version of QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise, but ensure your computer meets the minimum requirements before installation.

Keep us posted if you have other concerns about installing the QuickBooks Desktop version. We are always here to lend a hand.

Consider to purchase QB Desktop with a non subscription license (i.e 2016 or later) to upgrade your version. You can contact @Fiat Lux - ASIA for details.
