Hi Divina,

Thank you for your response. I did originally reach out to Intuit about this via the website support chat and the sales agent I spoke with was insistent that I purchase the subscription version, telling me that any other solution isn't available and even went as far as to tell me that if we purchased QB Pro 2021 from one of Inuit's partners, that they would not be able to guarantee or support the software. 

Do I have to upgrade every year or can I continue to use the current version I have?

Hello there, @Linda48328.

Plus is a subscription plan. You have to renew it annually.

Hi how to upgrade my 2013 Can version to 2022? Can upgrade in the 2013 system by using my old purchase code or needed to delete off and reinstall the newest version. Is it cheaper on upgrading from 2013 version 

@Atlantica  

I notice you are asking the same question in CA community. Which country version did you use? US or CA?

You can still purchase the one time license for QBD 2020 or 2021 to upgrade your version if required.

I appreciate you for joining us here in the thread, @Atlantica. I'll take care of your concern so you can get through this and access your company file in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) 2022.

QuickBooks Desktop has a 3-year life cycle. Upgrading it from 2013 to 2022 may cause data issues due to feature or version differences. To prevent this from happening, you'll want to create a backup copy of your file and restore it to QBDT 2015/2016 and then to 2018/2019, then QuickBooks Desktop 2021. Once done, we'll then proceed to QBDT 2022, then that's it. You can smoothly run your files in the latest version of QuickBooks Desktop.

Feel free to check this article for the steps on how to create a backup file: Back up your QuickBooks Desktop company file.

Once you're done, here's how you can restore it:

1. In QuickBooks, go to the File menu and select Open or Restore Company.
2. Select Restore a backup copy and then Next.
3. Select Local Backup and then Next.
4. Browse your computer for your backup company file. It should look like this: [Your company name].qbb.
5. Select a folder to decide where to save your restored company file. Then select Open.

What payroll subscription do you have that is only $230 per year??  My subscription, for my small company with only 15 employees, that is only desktop was $670 this year.  It goes up every year and I honestly don't know why since the functionality is the same year to year.  Can someone explain to me why it is so expensive now? Add the yearly subscription fee of $350 and I am paying $1020 plus each year.  I can't get anyone who answers the phone to explain this to me.  They just say that if I don't pay it I will lose service. Talk about an extortion scheme!!

Come on Quickbooks, explain these charges to me!!

As a matter of fact, I don't even get state forms with this over-priced subscription each year. I don't even get the Federal and State Compliance poster for free (which is NOT any better than the free one I get elsewhere)! What exactly am I clearly paying an outrageous amount more than other people for??

I have Quickbook Desktop Pro 2020 and want to know how much is an upgrade to the 2022 version?

If you are living in the US, you have to call Sales at 1.800.315.1076 to purchase QB Desktop 2023 Pro Plus

https:// quickbooks.intuit.com/desktop/

Another option, you can purchase via selected partners/resellers.

How would I go about upgrading to a newer desktop version and not to and Online Version? I am still using Desktop Pro 2015 and obviously it is time. But I cannot find anywhere on the Intuit website to make such a purchase. It seems they only want to sell Online versions. I have tried it and did not like it and it is not nearly the same as the Desktop version. Also does anyone know if there is a way to buy older software and license (ie 2018-2021)? I think the prices on the website are ridiculous. Please help. Thank you

Your license expires and you must purchase a new license.

Hello there, @eumc1.

When there's a new version of QuickBooks available, you'll get a message to do an upgrade when you open QuickBooks. 

To do this, here's how:

1. Select Upgrade Now on the prompt.
2. Choose to Keep old version on my computer if you want to keep your current QuickBooks. 
3. Click Let’s go. QuickBooks downloads installs, and activates the new version for you. It updates your company file(s).
4. Once done the upgrade is done, select Open QuickBooks.

However, if you don't want to upgrade, you can simply close the prompt. 

For more details on upgrading your QuickBooks Desktop account, visit this article for the detailed steps: Upgrade QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus, Premier Plus, or Enterprise.

In addition, here are list of situations when you need to upgrade your program:

• If you encounter a forced upgrade prompt from QuickBooks that happens mostly in three-year windows. For instance, if you have QBDT 2019 version, you’re going to be forced to upgrade to QBDT 2022. Upgrading to the newer version will ensure you'll be supported by Intuit.
• You may also need to upgrade if you're getting a new computer operating system. This will sometimes cause the program to not function smoothly if they don't meet the minimum requirement in running a specific version. 
• If you want to have more licenses for additional users for your company or computers and you’re using an old version then, you may need to upgrade.

Feel free to comment below if you have other questions about upgrading your QuickBooks account. I'll be happy to help. Take care and have a good one!

So, which online version do I upgrade to, I pay 500 annually for Payroll, and 6.00 mo for monthly payroll per employee usage fee.

I'm one user, small business non-profit. 

NO interest in Intuit doing my payroll. 

 My annual Payroll fee renews January 29, 2023, so I need to make a decision ASAP.   When trying to access upgrade your quickbooks via my home page no where do I see a choice for QBD Pro...I see essentials, Online Plus, etc.  I tried chatting yesterday for over an hour, to no avail.
