QBPro Desktop 2020

I'll to provide you with some guidance on finding QuickBooks Desktop Pro 2020, Damien60.

As the product you're seeking is a discontinued edition, we no longer offer it on our website. It could be a bit challenging to find it directly from the official source. However, there are alternative options we can explore.

To begin, you can reach out to your local computer software retailers or authorized resellers and inquire if they have any remaining stocks. They'll be able to assist you in searching for a one-time license.

Additionally, platforms such as Amazon, eBay, or other reputable online marketplaces often have merchants offering older versions. You can also visit online forums where users buy and sell software licenses.  

Remember to be careful when purchasing from third-party vendors and ensure that they have positive ratings and reviews. Exercise caution and verify their legitimacy before making any transactions.

Furthermore, keep in mind that using outdated editions comes with certain risks such as compatibility issues and limited support. It might be worth considering an upgrade to a more recent version of the program if it aligns with your needs and requirements.

Finally, here are some articles that will guide you in installing and registering the software:

• Install QBDT
• Activate QBDT

I'm here to support you throughout the process, so please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions or concerns. Best of luck in finding the license!

QB Desktop 2020 US Pro for singe user?

Yes, though I will probably end up installing it on two machines, 4,600 miles apart.

Hi Klent, I've used QBPro since 1999 for my one-man professional services company and it has given me all that I want or need out of the software.  I purchased the 99, 2006, and 2015 versions.  Recently, Microsoft crapped on my desktop machine in AK by completely emasculating IE (I've tried everything I can find on-line, but it's gone) and leaving me to work on a laptop instead.  It's NOT a satisfying experience.  My concern is a) maintaining my data locally exclusively (I do NOT like on-line solutions in ANY thing with the possible exception of large file sharing) and b) ensuring I am able to perform all that I've done with QBPro in the past.

Yesterday, I shopped around and found a 2021 version of the DT software at ocithub.com for a price I can handle, so I would ask, "will the Desktop Pro 2021 package do everything my 2015 version would do?"  If the answer is affirmative and if these folks are legitimate vendors of your software, I would proceed with this acquisition.

Folks with Fiat Lux have traded notes with me in a prior thread and reached out again on this thread re: the 2020 version, but their pricing model is pretty high, given that I will probably only keep my business limping along for another couple of years.  I need to minimize my expenses and the subscription model is no help in that regard.

Thank you, Damien*

Glad you're able to find a product that suits your need, Damien60.

Yes. QuickBooks Desktop 2021 brings new and improved features to help you perform and complete your tasks faster. This program can accomplish everything the 2015 version would do. 

For more details about this version, I suggest browsing these resources:

• What’s New in QuickBooks Desktop 2021
• QuickBooks Desktop 2021: Improved Productivity

Once you decide to upgrade, keep in mind that moving your company file from the 2015 version to QuickBooks Desktop 2021 is a big leap. The QuickBooks program has a 3-year life cycle. That means you have to convert your data file(s) in stages from 2015 to 2018 or 2019 to 2021. Then, restore the file in between.

Usually, we offer to use the trial version when moving your file. However, the available trial link on our page is for QuickBooks Desktop 2023. To ensure you can successfully transfer everything, I recommend reaching out to the OC IT HUB Support Team to verify if they can help with the migration process.

Furthermore, I've added these articles that'll help you learn more about the process of installing and moving company files in QuickBooks Desktop:

• Install QuickBooks Desktop
• Back up your Company File
• Restore a Backup of your Company File

Please keep us posted if you have additional questions about migrating your files. We're always here to help you out.

Is this 100% certain the migration process?  When I moved from 99 to 06 and 06 to 15 I simply restored a fresh backup file.  Worked fine with no data losses.  I guess I could try it and if it fails, well there I am.  Sounds as though the OC IT Hub is a group you recognize, so perhaps I'll roll the dice.

They offer licenses for the Plus and Enterprise editions without a subscription. I wouldn't be surprised if their licenses are the cracked ones and contain malicious programs.. That's why they provide a USB flash drive to install QB, not just provide the installation code and you can download the installer files from Intuit website. Make sure you have guaranteed access to CAMPS as the Primary Contact and find your license info there. At least you can dispute with Paypal to ask for the refund later if needed. Good luck!
