QB desktop 2017

Hello there, El Nica. 

Thanks for asking the Community today. I see you've posted twice with the same concern. Let me route you to my colleague's answer at this link: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-us/other-questions/qb-desktop-2017/00/1133722.

@El Nica 

Your version is outdated. You can still purchase the one time license for QBD 2021 to upgrade your version if required.

Is it possible to still purchase a one time license for those of us who cannot use ONLINE because we have inconsistent internet access?

You can use the trial version as a workaround. Contact @Fiat Lux - ASIA for details.

I want to jump on this thread and clarify concerns about purchasing a time license in QuickBooks Dekstop HD6969.

Intuit transitioned QuickBooks Desktop to a subscription-based model, and they no longer offer a one-time license for their desktop versions. The subscription model includes annual payments and often requires some level of internet access for activation, updates, and certain features.

For those who prefer or need a one-time license without regular online connectivity, your options are limited due to this change. Here are a few things you might consider:

We can still use older versions like QuickBooks Desktop 2017 if you own a license. However, this version may not receive updates or support, which could be a concern for security and functionality.

Alternatively, we can also use a trial version of QuickBooks Desktop as suggested by Diety above.

Lastly, we can contact our customer service support  as they can also provide guidance on obtaining an older version or offer alternative solutions. They can give information about any potential upgrade paths.
