Ridiculous my small not for profit company can not afford to pay that kind of price. I have been a Qbks person since 1999. I have paid for a lot of upgrades. But the new company is too small to eat that cost. They are cruel.

As I know there is no ongoing issue running QBD 2024 on Sonoma.

Did you find a good alternative? I have two companies and QB online is not only awful, but you have to pay for two subscriptions. The desktop let me have two companies files without extra cost.

my friend is starting a business. I told her I would help set it up. I have called sales and they only want  subscriptions.  I bought and own my own license.  That is what would work for her.

It is very shady on how to get a onetime license for Mac- Desktop. 

 

Doesn't Intuit care about small business? That is what it started out as, now they are just leaving us high and dry.

There is Only 1 alternative. and it's for up to 40 users. $1,922. Annually. That is ludicrous . 

Please send me something if there is one for 1 or 2 users

Thank you for discussing further your query to us, ER674. I would like to share some valuable information and insights that will help you address your situation.

 

QuickBooks no longer offers a one-time license for their Desktop version for Mac. Instead, it has transitioned to a subscription-based model. This means that the latest and supported versions are only available through an annual subscription. 

 

However, if you want to use older versions that were available as a one-time license, you can purchase them from authorized retailers.

Hi there,

Will QBD for Mac 2020 work on OS Sonoma? I know I cannot buy a newer version without a subscription, which really stinks as I own and operate a pet sitting business by myself! I've been using QB for Mac since 2010 so this change really sucks. I'm currently running Monterey but would like to upgrade my OS. I appreciate all the information I've read in this thread.

Thank you!

I appreciate you joining the thread and detailing your concern about the compatibility of QuickBooks Desktop for macOS Sonoma. I'll share information relating to this matter.

 

QuickBooks Desktop 2020 is no longer supported, which could result in certain features becoming dysfunctional due to updates in the computer's operating system.

 

Should you encounter any complications, there are several options to consider. One option is to continue using QuickBooks Desktop 2020 on the current operating system that supports it. Alternatively, you might explore upgrading to a more recent version of QuickBooks that is officially compatible with the latest operating system updates.

 

I'm adding this article you can use in the future: Release Notes for QuickBooks Desktop for Mac 2020.

 

If you have any further questions or concerns, post them here in the forum. We're here to assist you in any possible way. Have a great day!

Hi there, dsbauden.

 

Thank you for getting back to us. You can download QuickBooks Desktop for MAC 2022 since the service for QuickBooks Desktop for MAC 2021 will be discontinued after May 31, 2024. However, installing the latest QuickBooks Desktop for MAC 2024 would be best to ensure you have the most recent operating system updates.   

 

Refer to this article for more information: What's new in QuickBooks Mac 2024.

 

We highly recommend staying with the current macOS to ensure uninterrupted business operations. However, If you prefer macOS Sonoma, we suggest using the supported version of QuickBooks Desktop for Mac 2023 or 2024.
 

I have added a resource you can refer to whenever you face issues with QuickBooks. You can find related articles in this link: Help articles for QBDT Mac.

 

Feel free to post again or comment if you have clarifications about upgrading your QBDT for Mac program. We'll always be around to assist you further. Have a great day!

But isn't the 2024 version an annual subscription? My small business cannot afford to do that every year. I'd like to buy one that has a one user license that doesn't need to be renewed every year.


Thank you.

I hear your sentiments, den. Allow me to provide further details about this. 

 

If you wish to purchase a one-time license or stand-alone subscription for an older version of QuickBooks Desktop, you may need to explore retail stores or authorized resellers that still carry these versions. However, it's important to note that Intuit no longer offers one-time purchases or stand-alone subscriptions for QuickBooks Desktop 2023 and later versions directly from them, as they have transitioned to a subscription-based model. 

 

Furthermore, here are a variety of useful resources covering various QuickBooks-related topics, such as managing financial records, processing payroll, handling banking processes, and performing other accounting tasks. 

 

I'm still all ears for queries about managing subscriptions. Take care!

Hi again,

 

one last question. if i let my subscription expire, can i still use the software? my current software doesn't receive any support now so i'm guessing i won't be any worse off if I could do it that way.

 

Thanks again,

Di

I have QB desktop for Mac 2021 (R14.2) running on Big Sur. I was thinking of upgrading my OS to at least Monterrey or Ventura, but don't want to go a bridge too far. Any issues with that?
