Quickbooks 2024 Premier Accounting standalone version? Disable internet access?

Simple question.  Is there a QB 2024 Premier Accounting Edition that DOES NOT access the Internet?  IS there a standalone version?  We have 

QuickBooksEnterprise24.exe

ProductName QuickBooks
ProductVersion 34.0.4004.3401

Nowhere in the .msi does it relate to Accounting Edition.  Do we have the correct installation source?

How do I know this is the Accounting Edition of Premier?

The issue is that our users can log in their Intuit accounts and access the customers data which is a major violation.  Is there a way to make this act like a standalone application with no access to the Internet via the application?

All Intuit or external server access should be completely disabled like all the previous versions.  Can this be made to act this way?  This is why I think we have the wrong software or Intuit changed the way user interact with their servers.

I can clarify your queries regarding QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), Vhartine.
 
First, QBDT can work offline, except when using add-on services like Intuit Data Protect, Merchant Services, or Direct Deposit.
 
Second, the standalone version of QBDT is no longer available. However, you may purchase software licenses from local computer software retailers or authorized resellers like Amazon or eBay.
 
Third, please know that QuickBooks Enterprise is a different product. To ensure that you get the correct installer for QuickBooks Premier, visit this link to get the download the executable file: Downloads & Updates.
 
Fourth, after you installed the program, open it and press F2 or select Help at the top, and tap About Intuit QuickBooks to know your product version and edition.
 
Fifth, the 2024 version cannot be made into a standalone application as this is a subscription model. While recording transactions offline is possible. the program requires internet connection when using add-on services.
 
Finally, Intuit or external server access can't be completely disabled because the company file will auto-lock if there is no connection within 45 days.
 
I've also included articles on managing your QBDT program:

@vhartline 

Do you need to use QB Desktop Accountant version to access the file created on QB Desktop Enterprise, OR

do you need to downgrade data from Enterprise to Premier Accountant version?
