just purchased a licence (with new Mac computer) sales guy says it will work. came with disc, tried to download online and after downloading Desktop Pro 2021, it says not compatible. can't find a Mac download. Haven't even got to where you enter licence number - any ideas?

Don't sweat, @Arif3. You've got me!

It's my pleasure to help you download and install the QuickBooks Desktop for Mac. This way, you can use and start managing your data as soon as possible.

QuickBooks Desktop Windows and QuickBooks Desktop for Mac are different, that's why they are not compatible. But don't worry, here's how to download the Mac version:

Go to the QuickBooks download page.
Select your State, Product, and Version in the drop-down arrow.
Click Search, then Download.

On top of that, ensure that your computer meets the system requirements to download the program seamlessly.

Once done, you may now install the program using the disc you buy. Follow the steps below:

Close all the applications.
Open the installer or insert the disc into the Mac CD drive to open the QuickBooks installation.
Drag the QuickBooks icon to the Applications folder.
Follow the on-screen instructions to finish the process.

If you’ve upgraded from a previous version of QBDT for Mac, I'd recommend updating your company file to work in the newer version. For complete steps, click this link: Install and set up QuickBooks Desktop for Mac.
