Hello,

 

My company switched from Quickbook Desktop to Quickbooks Online Desktop Version in 2019, and I am looking for the cheapest option to buy the Quickbooks Desktop version and sign in and get access to pre 2019 data.  

Thanks!

Just to clarify your question. Do you wish to open your file for only a limited time (i.e < 30 days) or switch using QB Desktop?

Yes-just to access data so we can export it  <30 days is acceptable

Hi @Vinson,

 

You can log into QuickBooks Desktop anytime to access your data. Desktop version access doesn’t expire. As long as you have access to the computer the software is installed on, you can open and download lists, reports, etc.

 

Have you tried to open and log into the program?

 

Let me know if you need help with logging in. I’m here for you!


That may have been true in 2021, but it is NOT true in 2023.

It is a LIE that you can access old QB Pro desktop data if you no longer have a QB account, especially for free!!

 

Look at my numerous posts AND 👍 for my questions about QB holding customers data hostage.

Has this changed? We don't have to PAY a fee to view data we own? Or buy a subscription for $800.00?

Really?
