Downgrade Desktop

I'm currently using Desktop Pro Plus.  This is way too much for me and I need to downgrade to a simpler version.  I do not want to keep upgrading every year, I just want to use what I have.

You can convert your data to QB Online and convert it again to QB Desktop 2021 wit a non subscription license.

Downgrade Desktop

Hello there, Poggensee. Let me share information about downgrading QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus to a simpler version.

 

QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus is the final version of the desktop subscription available. As a result, it's not possible to downgrade to a lower desktop subscription. If you decide to switch back to a previous version of QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus, your company file will no longer be accessible.

 

However, if you find Desktop Pro Plus too complex for your business needs, you can switch to QuickBooks Online (QBO) which offers fewer features. There are some ways to transfer your data to QBO, depending on your specific needs:

 

  • You can move your data to QBO with an online tool if your QuickBooks version is 2020 or older.
  • If you're feeling unsure about doing it yourself or encounter any issues, our migration experts can assist you in transferring your data.
  • Consider consulting with your accountant or bookkeeper and ask them if they can provide you with the necessary help.

 

For more information, please refer to this article: Move from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online.

 

Furthermore, you may find this article helpful if you need help after moving to QBO: Steps you should take after you move from QuickBooks Desktop for Windows or Mac to QuickBooks Online.

 

Feel free to comment below if you require further assistance with the downgrading version or other QuickBooks-related questions. We're glad to help you. Stay safe.
