I've noticed this issue popping up a few weeks ago. Using the trial version is the only solution at the moment. Furthermore, you can use it permanently to access your historical data.

I understand the urgency of this matter. Since the Community space is a public forum, I don't have the secure access needed to view your account files or look into specific case details. You may consider reaching back out to our QuickBooks Live Support team for follow-up and to check on the status of your "View-only" access mode.

Feel free to leave a comment if you need help with any QuickBooks concerns.
