Welcome to the Community, designer4200. I'd like to thank you for choosing QuickBooks as your business partner.
Yes, there's a way for you to get a newer version of QuickBooks Desktop without going online. However, we still recommend upgrading and installing it online or within the product. This is to ensure that you can use QuickBooks smoothly and that it is fully activated.
You can purchase the most recent versions of QuickBooks Desktop from one of our authorized retailers:
- Amazon
- Costco
- Best Buy
- BJ’s
- Office Depot
- OfficeMax
- Staples
- Sam’s Club
- Wal-Mart
I've included this article for more information: Upgrade QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus, Premier Plus, or Enterprise.
Please let me know if you need further assistance or if you have other QuickBooks Desktop concerns. I'd be happy to help. Have a good one.
