How to gain View-Only Access to QB Desktop Pro 2022 after license expiry ?

I'd like to provide some clarification about the read-only access after a subscription ends, VSAP2022.

Please know that this feature is a recent addition and was introduced in QuickBooks Desktop 2023. For now, this is only available in the following versions:

• QuickBooks Desktop for Windows 2023 R3 and newer
• QuickBooks for Mac Plus 2024 and newer

This is the reason you're not seeing the option since you're using the 2022 version. Here's an article about this for more details: Renew Your Subscription or Use View-only Mode in QuickBooks Desktop.

You can temporarily reactivate your account for a month if you need to export your data. To do that, please contact our phone support team. They can verify your account and help you reactivate your account for a month. 

Here's how to reach out to them:
